Great article. I've recently been self-teaching myself machine learning the same way. I found that it started to get difficult in the middle of the course staying on track.
I decided to "scratch an itch" in open source parlance and start a study group I call colearning. Colearning provides a place for people doing remote education (or working on their own projects or writing) to have structured time to study and move forward towards their goals. It helps provide the positive pressure that a real physical class provides.
Our colearning group currently meets at Borderlands Books in San Francisco on Sunday's from 11 am to 4 pm. Message me and you can come join!
I've done this to help provide the structure I need to keep learning; its already helped me advance greatly in my own studies as I make forward progress every week.
Years ago I also identified a need for community while being self employed and started the coworking movement.
