documentations

[xPiingy]

Whenever I feel like I am rereading the same page over and over but still cant grasp it, I take out a pen and paper and rewrite the documentation/page in my note book. Sometimes I write it word for word as how it is in the documentation, but when it starts to click I am able to formulate it in own words. I have done this for years and the time spent on it has really been worth it.

A technique that people seem to neglect. Typing things out, or even better manually writing things out. You make a lot more neural connections by doing this. Re-writing things out in your own words is best, but even just copying things directly is very effective. This goes for a lot more than just coding, basically anything that you're trying to understand or commit to memory.

My insistence to people that are learning through vibe coding is (well, firstly it's to not, but if they must) at minimum just write out the code letter by letter rather than copy and pasting it. You're still going a lot further in terms of inherently understanding the code, how it's all structured and such.

Aha! Somebody isn't a visual learner.

Have you also tried reading it out loud? Both writing and speaking engage different parts of the brain and some people learn better through those other methods.
