21. Learning
22. nothing is as important as knowing how to learn
23. programming languages are extremely easy to approach & learn
24. you’d have to accept that books don’t work
25. deep, concentrated reading a (650-page) book takes 15-17 hours
26. in 17 hours of figuring things out you can learn a lot
27. and be able to apply it pretty much right away
28. noone says it’s going to be simple or easy but it will certainly help you to get somewhere
29. Contract

31. given you will do your part and learn actively by the end of year, you’re going to be able to work with FP professionally
32. the rest is up to you, to invest time & learn or to look for alternative opportunities
33. we won’t sell anything we like what we do, but we realise that growth is in acceptance
34. but we can help you to sell FP to your colleagues, when you’re ready & want someone to come over and help you to convince your colleagues
