this is extremely my jam.

btw if anyone is interested i've uploaded some releases of stuff that i enjoyed from my childhood but are kinda obscure. to try and keep it short whilst not doxxing myself: my dad for the last ~35 years has done a volunteer radio show on a local FM station which focussed on a specific style of music. his show became pretty influential for said style in AU so labels and promoters from all around the world would send him CDs to play on his show. because of this he often got stuff that wasnt a good fit for his show so he'd pass the CDs onto child me, resulting in me being raised on a bunch of obscure techno/industrial stuff.

so yeah, i've uploaded some of the releases because it's not like you can buy them. WER0004 is the good poo poo, then TRG89332-2 and BKA0007. adkoc is funny, it was an actual physical mp3.com CD release. anyway here's the stuff go nuts: https://pileofgarbage.net/music/

id say find a hobby where you know theres a local community of people into that hobby so you meet people and socialize more

but as a list

get a bike or a skateboard or rollerblades

cooking, photography, learning a musical instrument, painting, acting, exercise/weightlifting, baking, making beer/wine/alcohol

volunteering at a food bank or shelter, helping neighbors in need, learning to fix/make things (woodworking, electronics etc), any casual sport even goofy adulting ones like frolf or kickball

all great hobbies try one see if you like it

yes, and this is a skill you’re going to have to develop to make your way in the world

it can be exhausting, believe me, but you need to be able to do it when necessary, even if it’s necessary more often than you might like

just to add as an addendum

when i was younger (pre 20s) i was also very much a quiet communicator, preferred writing etc but learned to have to adapt to it being necessary

socializing/communicating is a skill, a VERY important one

as it is a skill the way you get better at it is by DOING it. it was agonizing and awkward (“cringe”) but i got it eventually

youre cant avoid this as
much as you (or me back then) want to, so its better to dive in and make mistakes and figure it out

For you degree-havers, how good are the book recommendations in this track https://teachyourselfcs.com/ in regards to actually teaching yourself CS concepts?

can only comment on ones i've read from there:

for the the development part, i wouldn't pick sicp cause people bounce off scheme for practicality, i typically recommend https://www.udacity.com/course/design-of-computer-programs--cs212 to people instead of the python one they have there

skiena's algo design manual is very good

whereas "how to solve it" is more about how to TEACH problem solving rather than how to APPLY problem solving. you can infer the latter from the former, but i think it gets too much play for the latter, still a decent book to read. i hate the introduction but it really picks up after the fact.

designing data intensive systems is very practical and likely a good chunk of what you'd be working with in 2021 in terms of frameworks/applications/environments
