Recipe to determine ignorables, untouchables given topic + agenda #12

Open sanjarcode opened 9 months ago

sanjarcode commented 9 months ago

One important skill to have is to dive in a field, know which areas to (do and not do):

  1. Ignore
  2. What to build upon (think inheritance OOP like)

this skill + an agenda, and there's absolutely nothing to stop me.

The first helps set priorities, the second helps sets things that can be acted upon. So, decisions and actions are narrowed.

I think this should work. Just consider any topic you know. There are these two kinds of things (that fool us in the beginning, and especially beginners).

Examples:

  1. (React app development) for example - how the browser works is practically not important (ignorable). We shouldn't touch eventListeners and not do DOM manipulations explicitly - what not to build upon.
  2. Calculus math (12th, engg bachelor) - you don't practically need to think about limits, and finding derivatives using the first principle. Nor does one need to do integrations by summation limits.

Every topic + agenda pair has these ignorables and set-in-stone things.

If you change the agenda, the two params also change.

Any variables I'm missing?

nextL Topic + agenda sets ignorables, base-items.

Try to create some recipie to determine these. Check if works.

doing this deliberately can help with "ideal" discovery of the subject
