6 guaranteed ways to screw up your code learning process!
-
Learn under time pressure. Nothing makes you absorb new material like your boss or client breathing down your neck.
-
Passively stare at your tutorial or book until your eyes bleed. It will get permanently imprinted on your retina so no need to ever memorize it again!
-
Switch context at least 3 times per hour. Your brain needs a refresher, otherwise it might get too boring.
-
Copy-paste code without reading it. Because if it works then it’s good enough. You’ll figure it out eventually.
-
Never ask questions! If you don’t understand something means it's totally your fault and you don’t want to look stupid in front of anyone.
-
Try to do it all by yourself and don't use a mentor to save you endless time and frustration.
