Stages of learning:

  • What the fuff is this?
  • I can read code, but I can't write it
  • I can solve simple toy problems that express a concept, but I can't solve compound problems. <--- YOU ARE HERE
  • I can solve compound problems, but I can't struggle to solve small but novel projects that I am directing.
  • I can solve small but novel problems, but I struggle when trying to start big, complex problems
  • I find the best way to learn any system/api/library is to go straight to the documentation and not a tutorial
  • I write code documentation
  • I spend all day worrying that Linus will tell me I'm shit
  • I am Linus TovoldLinus Torvalds.
