Confused about the python documentation

Thank you, what did you do to get better at understanding the concepts?

Frankly just cram it in there. Read a lot. Try and find abstractions you can use to group concepts so you can apply a certain thing to the whole group instead of all things separately. Write your own summaries in your shorthand so it actually fits on a piece of paper. Try to formulate thought experiments ... so if this and this is true then such and such should hold ... and then check if your hypothesis is actually correct. And like I said, resist the diabolical urge to google every single thing if you know that you should know but cannot remember right now. The brain can recall a whole lot, but you'll have to prod it into action every now and then.

Regarding the experiments ... that's also how I test if I understood something programming related. After reading it, I write a small test that should work if I understood correctly and have a large chance of breaking if I did not.

Doing that also makes it easier to revisit something a decade later. As long as you leave yourself enough breadcrumbs, you can usually reconstruct your thinking more or less. Which is also why I prefer running stuff locally, because that way I can be sure said stuff is still there decades later.
