Ask HN: How do you personally learn?
Some really random, obvious things I do:- I really look for learning materials that have diagrams, or videos. Plain-text blog posts and documentation are really obtuse for me to actually grok what's up- I've got into a good habit of writing (with a notebook and a notes app). I actually do weekly check-ins, almost like "sprint retros", just for myself. Sometimes they're silly, but they're handy to crystallize whatever I was thinking about the last week- If I want to learn a programming language or framework, I try to build something I'd actually use, or something someone else can use. It's a useful motivator!Also, checking HN is a good way to stay on top of things :)
