So I'm currently at the point where I can build a full-stack web application. I'm a little lost on what to learn next. I can build basic REST and CRUD stuff a general data entry MVC. Like I can build point of sale systems. But I want to get into the more complex stuff. Like suggestion algorithms, video converters, working with different files stuff like that. Pic Unrelated.

TLDR I'm lost, I don't know what to focus on next for learning what to program. What's the next level of programming mastery?

P(Picked box with two gold balls|First ball drawn is gold) = ( P(First ball drawn is gold|Picked box with two gold balls)*P(Picked box with two gold balls) ) / P(First ball drawn is gold) = ( 1*(1/3) ) / (1*(1/3) + (1/2)*(1/3) + 0*(1/3) ) = 2/3.

Programming is a means to an end, the end being either a job or fun. If you want employment, consult employer demand. If you want to have fun, learn what interests you.

God, this image is messing with me. I've seen it before and dismissed it; this is my first time trying to think through it.

>You pick a box at random.
Since the end result is that we pick up a gold ball, this means we randomly chose one of the first two boxes. Actually, this means the third box doesn't even matter, since we're excluding all cases that would include selecting it. This part is really "you pick one of the first two boxes at random".
>You pick a ball at random.
Now the silver ball "doesn't matter", since we know we don't pick it. We might as well not include the silver ball at all.

Now I see where the conflict comes from. If you go at it from the perspective of 'picking boxes', then we either picked the box with one gold ball or the box with two gold balls. It's a 50% chance which box we picked. However, if you go at it from 'which ball was chosen', then since two of the three gold balls are with another gold ball, it's a two-thirds chance that the gold ball that was chosen is with another gold ball.
