Gabriel Arazas edc686c25c Update wiki on various topics
This update is too large, I made too many notes on stuff. Nonetheless,
it is very nice to see progress. I've made note revisions on the
following topics:

- Learning
- Writing
- Various Linux-related stuff

I've yet to start learning illustration but I'll be starting tomorrow
for an update how do I keep in mind with those writings. There are still
a lot of things to be processed from the backlog with yet more notes on
learning but I keep having those perspectives whenever I practice so
ehhh... Better have those than nothing?

Furthermore, I've also updated the timestamp format. It is pretty simple
to update all of the notes with a couple of `sed` calls.

Aaaand, I've also changed the way how the assets stored with the folders
only leaving it up for the generated files instead of enforcing it on
every note. I create more visual aids and managing them is a pain for
each note. This restructuring frees me of that burden.

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

Expert resources are often very specific so you'll have a solid idea what you can do. This is more helpful if you already have a rough idea as you'll be forming more concrete tasks by the time you refer to them. For example…

  • When starting out to 3D modelling, you can look for speedsculpting videos or a competition that involves many talented people in the industry.
  • In roam:Programming, you could look for devlogs, highly advanced competitions, fairly popular software projects, or a live coding session.
  • In Illustration, you can look for speedpainting, competitions, and art contests that can be found online.

This is to Start with wishful thinking at its finest.

You can then store the expert resources and 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. If you Look for live sessions as another form of examples, the inspirations are especially great as you watch the actual process unfold.

Of course, this does not entirely replace looking out for beginner-friendly resources and communities as an entryway. You can start with Switching between different topics makes new perspective (e.g., starting with beginners' tutorial then refer to expert resources for improvement). In fact, it is a bad idea to start with expert resources as Diving head-first into a difficult problem makes a bad start.
