This is my default career advice for people starting out in geo/GIS, especially remote sensing, adapted from a response to a letter in 2013.

I'm currently about to start a Geography degree at the University of [Redacted] at [Redacted] with a focus in GIS, and I've been finding that I have an interest in working with imagery. Obviously I should take Remote Sensing and other similar classes, but I'm the type of person who likes to self learn as well. So my question is this: What recommendations would you give to a student who is interested in working with imagery? Are there any self study paths that you could recommend?

I learned on my own and on the job, and there are a lot of important topics in GIS that I don’t know anything about, so I can’t give comprehensive advice. I haven’t arrived anywhere; I’m just ten minutes ahead in the convoy we’re both in. Take these recommendations critically.

Find interesting people. You’ll learn a lot more from a great professor (or mentor, or friend, or conference) o

Software is layered.

Documentation is not. If your documentation states

Run npm install foo to install this module

It is really saying

0. Use Chrome. [recommended]
1. Copy javascript text from tota11y_now.js below (you'll need this for later).
2. Right-click on bookmarks bar and select 'Add Page...'
3. Paste javascript into URL field.
4. Give the bookmarklet a cool name like tota11y_now or accessibility rocks!!!
5. Go to your favorite website (it won't work on GitHub Gist). E.g., https://twitter.com
6. Click the awesome little sunglasses image in the bottom left of screen 😎
7. All done!

Suppose you're opening an issue and there's a lot noisey logs that may be useful.

Rather than wrecking readability, wrap it in a <details> tag!
