Gabriel Arazas aea7015cd5 Update the files for convention
Apparently, the convention (at least starting from 2018) is to make the
keywords and block names to be in lowercase as stated from one of the
following discussions at
https://orgmode.org/list/87tuuw3n15.fsf@nicolasgoaziou.fr/.

The files was updated with a one liner of shell. However, this is Emacs
and org-mode does have an API to let you do stuff in your config and
interact with the documents internally so it is not an elegant solution
in any way.

Refer to advanced resources when skill-building for a solid short-term goal

When starting out to build a skill like programming, 3D modelling, digital art, or cooking, you can look first for expert-created resources. For example, when starting out to 3D model, you can look for speedsculpting videos or a competition that involves many talented people in the industry. In programming, you could look for devlogs, highly advanced competitions, or a live coding session. You can then store the expert resources in your digital library (see Maintain your own digital library) for future references.

The purpose of this is twofold: to serve as a solid short-term goal (as indicated by the title) and to create inspirations for your future projects. Other side effects include creating deliberate practice sessions and taking the stakes off to a higher start.

Of course, this does not entirely replace looking out for beginner-friendly resources and communities as an entryway (see Information literacy). On the other hand, this prevents you from quickly entering tutorial purgatory where you'll be stuck for an indefinite amount of time.
