Came across randomly and enjoyed this read. --- 1. Need to learn a new concept/technology/subject arises 2. Collect resources (books, courses, experts) and start learning 3. Learn till a sufficient proficiency is reached to achieve the goal in 1. 4. Every time the implementation is used/revisited learn one new concept in that subject matter and apply that to the current implementation We normally stop learning once we have the desired proficiency. The more we use an implementation, the need to learn more about it and improve the current implementation becomes important. But we don’t realize the need till the time when our current knowledge fails us. So we need an approach to learn continuously, and also only the things that matter. We cannot tell ahead in time what matters the most in the future. A good heuristic to know the importance of subject matter is the frequency of use of its implementation.
