In the video, I shared five key strategies to accelerate learning as a software engineer. Firstly, I emphasized registering curiosity by noting down intriguing topics. Secondly, I highlighted the importance of jumpstarting without procrastination. Thirdly, I stressed the need to "do the laundry" by implementing concepts rather than just reading about them. The fourth point discussed the inverse power law, advocating for a strong foundation before delving into advanced topics. Lastly, I recommended juggling and time boxing multiple learning tasks to maintain interest and progress efficiently.

Such relatable and actual tips which I needed to hear. Learning 2 things in parallel makes sense. Also taking notes of things which intrigued interest. Could you make a video of how to make a system for that too?

@AbhishekSharma-ge5bv 10 ай бұрын

i don't think this applies to only software engineers. As a data scientist i have found it so so relatable. And i am quite certain that people in other professions would also feel the same.

Also, one piece of advice I would give is when you are learning new things, it is very common to find new terms. Instead of just skipping them, search for them in a new tab, what it is and how it relates to what you are learning. Decide how much time you should give to understand it based on how much it is used in the thing you are learning(some can be skipped, some require a skim read while some require a good understanding). This way(you can call it DFS) you would be able to tackle any new topic in a reasonable time with a good understanding.

@RapartiChaitanya Жыл бұрын

I do this as well. Calling it DFS learning makes sense!

@meowrbius Жыл бұрын

But this is also the reason for keep jumping from one topic to another. Suppose I found a new term when learning something. Now I have to understand what that new term is and while doing that, you catch another new term within it. And ends up inside the rabbit hole. :')

@biswajit-k Жыл бұрын

@@meowrbius Yes, it is often that we keep jumping into things, but you have to decide when things are diverging from the main topic. As I said, you don't have to grasp everything. Decide how much time to spend on a topic based its relevance to the thing you are trying to understand. I hope this clears my point.

@samyakjain4715 2 ай бұрын

Pointing out about the part that we do like to read some topics and then kind of get bored and explaining how to tackle that, damnnnnnnn, that was a really explaination and really helped me in tackling it, the idea to keep two things parallel is great, THanks!

@tsukuruuu Жыл бұрын

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🧐 Stay relevant by continuously learning new skills as the software engineering field evolves. 01:20 📝 Register your curiosity: Whenever something piques your interest, make a note of it in your favorite note-taking app. 03:10 🗂️ Jot down questions and topics that intrigue you; revisit and explore them gradually over time. 04:18 🚀 Jumpstart your learning: Start immediately without waiting for the perfect resource or time. 05:25 💻 "Do the laundry": Rather than just thinking about ideas, implement them in your preferred environment. 07:27 🔑 Follow the inverse power law: Spend ample time on foundational knowledge before diving into advanced topics. 10:22 🤹‍♀️ Juggle and time box: Learn multiple topics simultaneously, switch if bored, and set time limits to avoid getting stuck.

Great advice regarding juggling. I suffer from this problem of being curious about something, start learning and find something else and switch to it, ad infinitum. Juggling seems to be an interesting strategy, I will try this and see how it goes.

Agreed to all this. I have a question. You mention about distractions. My distractions are email newsletters from Blogs/ dev drops / Yt Videos notifications or feed /Twitter feed /LinkedIn feed. This itself is so overwhelming as everyone is posting something new. I wish to know how everyone manages this schedule? The curiosity list will become fairly lengthy IMO. How to restrict it?

@solomonhombiku2639 11 ай бұрын

I'm facing the same dilemma with newsletters and LinkedIns' idea and me trying my best to sort them out and understand the overall scheme of things. Your posted this 3 months ago, hopefully you found something to help us both.
