I would bury a JavaScript lesson.
“JavaScript 101. How to attack it hard and make it easy”
A book lesson based on my experience learning JS. The challenges and the easy ways I have found out on how to handle certain aspects of the subject matter.
I really believe most people don’t teach it to make it easy or appropriately enough for noob beginners .
If I retired today I would pick Project Tide, a startup I was part of that developed an app for reading a particular larteral flow strip.
The project itself failed as we couldn't get enough funding, but the app worked and was being used (it might still be being used, as it works offline).
I was proud of the code I wrote and the product as a whole. I learnt about all aspects of business, and met a lot of interesting people.
In terms of my career it reflects my strong desire to help people. I still work in the medical industry now, striving to help more people.
