Is it normal to Obsess over Programming, Computer science, Data science, psychology and AI books?

[Prettyapathetic]

I mean my favorite is programming and literally die for them metaphorically.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Well, I believe we have Obsessions over certain things, I think it's normal the only thing that would make it worse is that people can't do anything and must do whatever they Obsess over.. I will share something with you, I have Obsessions with Cell Phones and I've spent so much money on new cell phones and all it's done is cost me money that I could have been saving.. No one is forcing me to spend my money on cell phones and new carriers but years ago I had Obsessions with changing my phone number constantly it would be one number and before you know I'd have another one
so in the year 2018, I made a pledge to keep the same number and not change it
and so far I'm doing pretty good

[Prettyapathetic]

It is funny because I know the connections to outsourcing cell phones. The other guy is correct on how social engineering goes a long way and that marketing is extremely important.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@Prettyapathetic That is cool for sure but I am trying to curb my Obsession LOL

[Prettyapathetic]

How about you calculate how much money you will spend on buying new cellphones
over 10 years and deduct that from your net-worth.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@Prettyapathetic I agree I got to do something cause the money I put out in cell phones is crazy I have one box that is full of cell phones

[Prettyapathetic]

Do you want to ship one to me? Think about all the people need a new phone, maybe you should do a karmic cleanse and give some away or flip them for extra money on ebay or some letgo alternative app

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@Prettyapathetic Yeah, I need to do something LOL

[ChrisMaster69]

Not at all.

if doing Psychology shove in some Social Engineering modules or degree course.

Behavioural Science is also a good mix.

[Prettyapathetic]

okay, I have a subscription to coursera plus and I think I added social media marketing. I am also doing an app development project in the new kotlin frameowork rn plus a future innovative course and Google cloud machine learning. I added like 10 guided coding projects so that I can implement my own ideas in my IntelliJ pad.
I suck at socializing and think your suggestion is great, I am looking for improvement in that area.

[Prettyapathetic]

Google forced the google developers label on me a while back and I thought it was mean to neglect since I enjoy their command console in the google cloud platform.

[ChrisMaster69]

@Prettyapathetic is you are doing AI stuff then how people think, motivations, manipulating etc from those are good ones to support the rest.

Apart from that a bit of Social Engineering goes a long way lol

[ChrisMaster69]

@Prettyapathetic thank you most appreciated

[Jessica405]

Computers are my life. Same for my boyfriend and my brother.

[slatyb]

Totally normal. How do you think anyone becomes good at anything? Musicians obsess over their instrument, artists obsess over their work, etc.

[Prettyapathetic]

I am also an artist and yes when I was younger I did obsess over that too. Thank you!

[Kaneki05]

Is it normal to be cool? Nah not really. But who wants to be normal when they can be cool.

[KrakenAttackin]

Not at all. Pursue this and get proper credentials, you will be able to parlay this into consistent income and job security.

[Prettyapathetic]

Oh yeah, I am actually doing professional courses to get a couple certificates. I am actually pursuing this.

[Prettyapathetic]

Google cloud professional, IBM and university of Pennsylvania. I am actually a computer science major.

[Prettyapathetic]

Im also pursuing data science

[Prettyapathetic]

Entrepreneurship at penn as well

[Luckycharms12]

We all got interest in something and probably spend to much time thinking about

[clampfan101]

I want a nerdy girlfriend.

[Guardian45]

I sense a kindred spirit. Talk nerdy.

[QuietRunner]

Yes it is normal

help me make a compiler

[JessieBellll]

Yeah
