Learning in small, deliberate steps

A new subject can feel endless. A small experiment gives you somewhere to start.

Build to answer a question

Pick one thing you want to understand. Make the smallest working example that tests it, then note what surprised you.

1. Ask one specific question.
2. Build a small experiment.
3. Write down the result.
4. Repeat with a better question.

Leave a trail

Keep the explanation beside the code. The reason why you made a choice will outlast the details of how you made it.
