How I Think About Learning
This is the way I think about learning -- a high-level framework for integrating learning into your life. This isn't about specific memorization or practice techniques -- it's about how to become a learning machine and all of those annoying problems that life puts in your way.
1. Imitate the best until you're getting consistent results.
2. Learn to make finer and finer distinctions until you can clearly see why each one works in different situations.
3. Learn to assign higher or lower value to different mindsets, behaviors, and results.
4. Create variations on the best of those ideas, get more experience.
5. Innovate.

I'm just starting to learn my first programming language (python) and found this video to be very wise and timely.

Glad to hear it! I'm working my way through a few more books about learning before making a more specific "study techniques" kind of video. Should be coming soon.

How’s it going with the Python? I just started myself
Thank you. This has given me the positivity I needed right now.
Basically: build an accurate inner model. Simulate outcomes, check the results against truth, make informed changes. Iterate. Or the scientific/empirical model Or: Train on train set/test on validation set/do hyperparameter optimization.

bruh i'm just learning how to change directories and you sum this video up by saying hyperparameter optimization
1. Imitate the best until you're getting consistent results. I think you qualify for this in my books , really enjoying your tutorials
Your videos are so incredibly helpful. Please don't ever stop!
Yeah I have to keep reminding myself that mastering fundamentals is the key to learning anything. I will definitely go toward the hardest thing I can find while skipping fundamentals.
Dunning-Kruger effect, in psychology, a cognitive bias whereby people with limited knowledge or competence in a given intellectual or social domain greatly overestimate their own knowledge or competence in that domain relative to objective criteria or to the performance of their peers or of people in general. ----Britanica definiton thank you for all of your inputs and insights. your videos are a regularly scheduled cron job =P :-)
Learn to divide systems to very tiny parts and see how each tiny part work and how all parts interract and affect each other then make a system that gives you the best visibility on all these things in an summurised insightful way or push it further and make alarms.
Your videos have been a ton of help. I have started down the infosec path and am trying to educate myself without going to school and your stuff has been a great start. Thank you for taking time to upload these videos.
This is Chesterton's Wall. You have to be able to explain _why_ the wall is there (steps 1-2), and only _then_ do you consider _removing_ it (steps 3-5)
Yesss! This is just how I learn ;) Ok, maybe not exactly .. no pain no gain. Thanks a lot!
This is gold, really made me see where I went wrong.
Thank you for this. I have always had this type of method to learning, but have never verbally expressed it. Again, thank you.
3 min 24s : I gotta stop ... Holy shit I've done that. So many times. It's such a trap. At 3 min you'd just said words in some order at me, but "trying to innovate before you know what's going on" cemented all previous words into an idea in my head! Good explanation mate.
In my first year at programming, I'd read a lot of source codes and think about how the computer would execute the code. Once you learn the paradigms of programming, you begin to realize that it's easier to learn a new programming language. Have a pen and paper beside you while coding. Don't let your ideas leave off your fingertips.

Yes! I can't recommend pen and paper highly enough. I worked through "the little schemer" with pen/paper when I started, and it changed how I think about programming. Also did nand2tetris mostly on a notebook in a train, just putting everything into the hardware simulator when I got home. It felt like a huge downside at the time but I remember everything MUCH better as a result.
I've just started studying for the CCNA exam. These tips come in handy just at the right time. And alongside my CCNA study, I'm also going through your linux basic course, which I find awesome. I hope someday I can take the CompTIA Linux+ exam, too! I'll keep these tips in mind. Thanks for sharing this.
Love these "non tech" videos, a nice break from the Linux CLI to reset the brain and to take another look at the big picture

Thanks! Appreciate that, I'm definitely 'between' audiences right now because a lot of people come for quick, no-nonsense (well, *some* nonsense) tutorials but as the years have gone on I've realized that I can help way more people by talking about learning, tech career stuff, and more open-ended/experimental learning projects. We'll see what I manage to do on this channel over the next year :-D.

@@tutoriaLinux You should wrap this up into a Udemy Course. Do you have a patreon?
Yes! This process is not just good for technical detail and piece by piece building of a skill set. This process also leads to continuous small victories. Small victories are important for motivation and learning. If you get small victories you will know why and it feels good. It should feel like you got something done, not like you defeated the greatest challenge ever. If you start cobbling and winning (what feels like the most protracted and tedious conflict ever) you probably don't know why exactly you won - sort of like trying to make an install work by copying a list of code from stack exchange because the problem is the same as yours...
Amazing. Got some gold nugget. Thank you Dave.
Thank you so much for this video.. it will make my learning_path organized and better organized! Love the channel, love the value you share.. KUDOS!
Learning Linux now!! Im going to apply this!
Thanks for sharing your ideas and examples! By the way, I’d be curious about how you would relate this to Bloom’s Taxonomy.
56 videos in, I think I trust this guy’s insights. ;-) I’d like to see this video and the one on “Things I’d wish I’d known” at the top of the playlist; they’d serve as great intros for folks seeking career change perspectives, as well as younger entrants to the industry. Good stuff, all around. Thanks for sharing so much, OP Dave.

Hey, thanks! Great idea; I'll intersperse some of these videos earlier in the Linux Basics playlist. Much appreciated.
Your videos are so helpful...Thanks
This is helpful thank you 🙏🏾
Imitate the best blindly? I appreciate the video, though. A lot of you're advice is intuitive and not counterintuitive, but this approach is more beneficial to us in the long run than for someone you are working for who wanted the job done yesterday.
Great observations. Thank you. The great Hlywd producer Robert Evans's book advises remembering or focusing on yr best moment of success and then repeating it. Self-awareness and questioning leads to a life well-lived.
thanks for the awesome video, I love Eben Pagan, favorite book by him is Opportunity
Super useful information! Thank you!
I think that in order to really engage with this Evan Pagan (i dont really know about the spelling) paradigm one has to first kid around and make the mistakes you talked about, only then he or she can truly appreciate the rigor of the methodology. When i was younger, looking at acquainted scrupulous students i thought they acted like cold machines lacking creativity but how could i know that without getting to know their stories better? My view on curiosity (which i too think being among the best things in life) is that it kind of transcends method. I'm not saying that there is no method to learn and invent things the best way, what i am saying is it might be wrong to apply any given method to fathom _the best method_, because to do that the only thing that comes to my mind is to hear from the greatest number of discording voices one can, and to fiddle with any sort of interesting phenomenon, but every time trying to get a deeper understanding. As Feynman used to say, he had a theory on how looking at things ever more profoundly led to ever more interesting results - and that was not just a theory!

Great guy, i wish that the old me had subscribed to this channel before i did :D
I'm glad I found this video.
The thing is, it only works if you have someone to imitate. What would you do, if don't have anybody?
Thank you so much!
Perfect insight, guilty! :)
Thank You
Thank for this. Can you tell me how should I study tech related subjects, say if I want to learn web development for example, should I learn multiple subjects at once or should I finish one topic and move to next (everyday)?
@tutoriaLinux

That's a good question. There is a fair bit of research that suggests "interleaving" (learning multiple subjects at once -- a bit of HTML in the morning, a bit of Python in the afternoon, that kind of thing) boosts learning (what the research calls "durable learning."). Web development is an excellent example of something that you can learn "all together." It's nice because you also have a really fast feedback loop, which is critical for learning quickly. For example, when you change a html template, you'll see it on the next page reload. Same with changing a function, or adding a new header that gets sent by the webserver with each response, etc. You'll be running shell commands, editing code, learning the browser dev tools, and more, basically all day long. It's a perfect learning environment. Have fun!
Great video, thanks!
Off-topic question - what light are you using for the videos? Looks great.
well said bro
you'r cool, thanks for the great content 👍
Richard Feynman..... 👏👏👏👍😁
Great insights......
very good advice . (learning martial arts works the same way). its sounds like they are trying to "reverse engineer" everything 😊😊
it hurts...will try to do it consistently
I've found your thinking really interesting man. What do you recommend to read about Lisp? Thanks.

I see a lot of recommendations to start with The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs. It's definitely a great book but I wonder if it would have scared me off if I had seen it FIRST. I personally started with a few small clojure programs, and then reading The Little Schemer from beginning to end (and writing out every exercise with pencil and paper because I was commuting on a train and didn't want to open a laptop). It REALLY shoved the idea of lisp and recursion and the kind of 'shape' of functional programming deep into my brain. Different approaches will work for different people but that's the one I took.

Our post turtle management saw innovation, ie getting the most out of the tools at hand as a “work around” and thus a security threat. Security and health n’ safety are weaponised by fraudsters all too often these days.
