my learning philosophy: 1. you can learn anything 2. you can do it way faster than you think 3. so choose an insanely aggressive goal 4. shorten your timeline by 10-100x what you expect 5. pre-requisites are a myth. try to do the thing first, figure out what you don't know yet, and go learn that stuff. don't think you need to learn a bunch of stuff before you can do stuff. learn backwards not forwards 6. be highly selective with your learning resources, most resources are garbage 7. it only takes 1 really high quality resource on a topic to learn it well 8. building & talking to people are where you learn almost everything 9. anything else should just be to accomplish these 2 things. you learn more so you can build stuff, or so you can have a productive conversation with someone experienced
