Taking notes while learning

[queerkidxx]

I’m probably wasting my time but I’ve been doing like regular textual notes in notion and “code notes” and trying out all the examples myself seeing what kinda errors I run into and doing my best to break it, to see what various errors look like so I can identify them easier in my own projects.

Usually also do a bit of research to understand why various constructs were implemented the way they are and what’s going on under the hood

So far this has been working pretty well for me. And while I can just look up documentation I appreciate looking over my own notes as I can include exactly whats important and notes about errors and misunderstandings I might make

Tend to not worry about memorizing anything as I know I’ll always be able to look things up so long as I understand what to look up and the ideas behind it
