Learning moments

#Learningmoments - Getting things done, Delivering functional code on time is a key aspect of development. Option #1 - If find it already solved, I lookup #StackOverflow / #blogs and #integrate it works. After It is integrated, I move on to other #pieces of the problem. Option #2 - Some solutions even if we evaluate solutions in StackOverflow / blogs do not completely address our use case scenarios. After initial exploration, whiteboard, get back to #basics, get the building blocks again and find #optimal solution. Both #1 and #2 are part of learning. Option #2 takes time but also gives you deep clarity and analysis. Depends on #interest, #timelines, and team setup to deep dive. #Learning / incremental experience adds more perspective as we solve diverse use cases. #experience #learningeveryday #perspectives

The cycle of productivity - focus - inspirations

  • Money is the outcome of knowledge
  • Knowledge is the outcome of implemented ideas
  • Ideas are the outcome of focused domain, data, implementation
  • Ideas are the outcome of focused learning
  • Focus is the outcome of the purposeful search for inspiration
  • Inspiration is the outcome of curiosity and consistently looking out for great ideas
  • Everything connects, habits emerge from small incremental motivations...




Reading / Filtering / Experimenting

Inspirations take time to spot

  • Reading blogs
  • Simple code flows. Well articulated
  • Code runs in mind when you see it
  • Constantly lookout to get/bookmark quality posts
  • Share your views/perspectives big or small issues, It's ok write it up
Interesting Note

To get expertise it needs


Since we work from time to time on different problems with familiarity vs deep dive vs practice vs forgetful memory everything impacts. Tech landscape changes very often so again needs to be updated.






From link
  • Start with the smallest working example
  • Try to modify it and watch the results 
  • Read or watch someone explain the technology
  • Repeat steps as often as necessary
