Disclaimer! Eating will take time away from creating something people want! I think if the value you gain from doing something outweighs the opportunity cost paid for not working on your startup, you ought to go ahead and do that thing. Whether these videos are worth your time is your opinion. But they are excellent resources, and others might find them worthwhile.

I think if the value you gain from doing something outweighs the opportunity cost paid for not working on your startup, you ought to go ahead and do that thing. Quite true. Ive been going through the videos, an SICP (albeit slowly). Yes, I sometimes feel that I could be writing production code instead of getting an education. I believe, though, that having some additional insights on software development will pay off quite well in the future. Plus it's fun. :)

  I respectfully disagree, because the video is something one can watch at any time, but releasing a web service to the public is something that should be done as soon as possible. But you made me reconsider. I guess I can probably put it on my phone and watch it at the gym when I'm doing some stretches or warming up! I'm glad you enjoyed my link, and I hope I have some time to watch more of it myself. Thanks for your reply!

    Gee, this reminds me of the time when I showed to a friend a stop motion clay animation I had painstakingly made. The man played it in fast forward. I didn't stay for his comments.

But for your deity of choice's sake, don't multitask at this. Whenever you think you're ready, get a paper copy and set aside some time for it every day. Kiss the cover. Open the book. Read at least one subsection and do the exercises. Close the book and kiss the cover again. Candles optional.
