fwiw I like learning in groups. I did realize I had to learn with folks around my level of understanding. I had been in learning groups with people way ahead of me and I found it difficult to speak up and catch up.

Joe nailed it, whether or not you learn reactively or proactively often seems to be related to how much free time you have. I also feel like the more I learn something and the more I understand it, the more I enjoy it. (Does not apply to Evan learning TypeScript 😁)

I often feel like when learning something new if I am doing it for my understanding, whether its a new language or concept, etc. I need to understand how it works on the hood (the inner workings).

It's when I am in a jam or working on something else and a concept or problem arises where I don't have the time to rabbit hole into it or get to know it better when I tend to glaze past it.

Very relatable content. Great Episode!

Glad you liked it! Yeah, I think it can be hard to learn from a group when you're way behind everyone else... but even then there are things you can do to help yourself learn. I remember my first dev job where everyone else had years of experience over me, scribbling down all the terms they were using and looking them up later. Stressful but you can learn quick that way too!
