    Hi, my name is Tina and I'm a data scientist at a FAANG company. I was pre-med studying pharmacology at the University of Toronto until I finally accepted that I would make a terrible doctor. I didn't know what to do with myself so I worked for a year as a research assistant for a bioinformatics lab where I learned how to code and became interested in data science. I then did a masters in computer science (MCIT) at the University of Pennsylvania before ending up at my current job in tech :)

    Something that really helps me: learning the same topic from multiple sources. Each source fills in the gaps of the others, and repeatedly exposing yourself to an explanation of a single concept will make it feel easy once you've heard it the third or fourth time. DON'T stress about remembering every little thing, just expose yourself to the ideas a few times and understand it as well as you can (without pushing you brain too hard) each time, and they will sink in on their own. Reach for "low hanging fruit" i.e. the things that are easiest for you to understand. They build on each other, and sooner than you think, you'll be able to understand those "harder" concepts, if you just focus on all the easy ones. In a way, you only ever have to try to learn things that are easy for you to learn.

      I agree & don't agree in the same time. I used to help some foreign student learning french and, just asking them where they were in their learning was putting them in the "Accountability" zone indirectly.
      I think that, having a little group that boost each other on those term, even if you don't learnt he same subject is really cool. Some friends have a group where, every two weeks, they show and explain what their learn to other.

There can come a time of confluence if you continue to move forward and accept that you can only choose the direction of the very moment that presents itself. Define your future with detail as best you can and as you progress it will become possible to refine those ideas as they materialize. Accept failure as a opportunity for you to Google a correct resolution, failure is the easiest thing to fix if you can accept you are wrong. I find it very difficult to make intelligent decisions when I find no fault in what I'm doing. It is implausible to be correct all the time. Strive for greatness and accept failure as part of the journey, love what your doing or don't do it.

    Honestly - thank You from the bottom of my heart.
    Here are my takeaways:
    1. Learning just enough to make a project you are interested in.
    2. Staying motivated by linking the learning with realisation of your deep needs and imaging the alternative cost.
    3. Not feeling guilty of learning other stuff within the domain instead of completing a course you feel irrelevant to your goal, your project.
    4. Watching lecture in double speed to grasp the general point and noting down the high-level logic instead of writing about every detail. Write concepts as a framework of connected elements and feel okay with leaving gaps in this puzzle.
    5. Connecting with people around the topic, if possible. Linking your responsibility to others, to feel obligated before them.
    6. Iterate the elements of learning and practically implementing the knowledge.

    Framework for Learn Technical Things
    #1 learn just enough
    + The problem is that there are too many resources (paradox choice).
    + You can’t jump from beginner to intermediate doing courses.
    + Don’t try to memorize or understand every detail.
    + Take notes but don't take too many notes.
    + Do not, by any means, skip exercises!
    + Do not feel obligated to finish a course that is not relevant for your project.
    + Do not be married to a single resource!
    #2 do a project
    + It doesn’t matter what’s in your head if you don’t know how to implement.
    + The best way do learn to implement is doing implementations.
    + If possible: find your project first! That's how you know you learn it.
    3# ITERATE

    + choose projects to do in order to find the holes in your knowledgment, and that’s the whole point.
    + Find the projects that better fits the skills that you wanna learn.
    + Keep doing it! It’s a cyclical process.
    PLUS# ACCOUNTABILITY
    + Accountable means obligated to explain, justify, and take responsibility for one’s actions and to answer to someone, such a person with more authority.
    + This is even more important when you fell overwhelmed, weak and it’s must proned to give up. And that will happen!
    + Make a public commitment.

    100% correct! Thanks! I was "trying to learn to code" for several years, but it only started to stick this year because:
    1. The pre-research of knowing what coding language was used for what and what the capabilities was essential to knowing what direction(language) to focus on.
    2. Some of my job developed in a direction where if I knew Python it would be much easier and I'd get better outcomes.
    3. Several other side projects formed in my mind where I *needed* to know python to deliver them.
    4. Instead of structured courses I just watched TH-camrs like you... it helped me build my own developer environment much better and the variety of approaches and angles helped me generalise.

    Agreed. Learn the concepts in 1 - 2 hours through documentation or videos then spend the remaining time in building projects. This can be in the form of courses or TH-cam video or blog post. One more thing that you can do while watching this courses is to build something on your own before watching the video. Example if you are going to build a navbar, perhaps try to build it on your own first before watching the video on how to build it. If you are stuck , try to research it. If still stuck for more than 2 hours, then continue watching the video for the solution. End of the day, is the effort on exercising your brain that matters. Even if you don't solve the issue, at least you would spent time researching things and filling some gaps up in your knowledge. This has helped throughout my career as a dev.

    I'm a beginner in the field and a lot of times i get stuck wondering how should I approach a dataset. I'd love to see a video or a new series on your channel on how you tackle a project from beginning to end.
    Thank you for existing hahahahaha ❤️

    What fantastic advice (and taste in anime). I am at that doldrums stage, having finished my Google data analysis certification, but currently grabbing courses because I felt like I didn’t know enough of certain things. I found myself nodding my head a lot to this video. I walked away from this feeling much better about myself and what to do next. Thank you for this!

    in brief:
    This video discusses a framework for learning technical skills more effectively and efficiently through project-based learning.
    The framework consists of three main steps:
    -learning just enough,
    -doing a project and iterating,
    -and ensuring accountability.
    1. Learn just enough: Instead of getting overwhelmed by numerous resources, choose one or two introductory courses or books to learn the basic concepts and terminologies of the skill you want to acquire.
    It doesn't matter which course you pick, as long as it's high quality.
    2. Do a project and iterate: The real learning starts with doing a project, which helps you practice real-life implementation.
    After completing a project, continue doing more projects to fill in the gaps in your knowledge and dive deeper into the subject matter.
    Learning is a cyclical process.
    3. Accountability: Create consequences for yourself to push through tough times and avoid giving up.
    This can be achieved through introspection, identifying what truly matters to you, and creating habits to help you stay committed to your goals.
    An optional upgrade to the framework is to find a project first, which can help answer the question of when you've learned enough to start doing a project.
    This can be done by getting a job in the desired field or setting up a project with consequences that matter to you.
    The video emphasizes the importance of project-based learning for acquiring technical skills, focusing on implementation, and practicing to truly master a skill.
    The speaker shares their own experiences and provides examples of how this framework has helped them succeed in learning and applying new skills.

    Also, getting familiar with lingo really helps. Like just knowing the words and what they mean and have a bit of an idea where they are normally used (even though you don't understand it well enough) is really helpful in order to learn things.

    You're amazing!! This is exactly what I needed. I'm just starting out on the web dev path with zero coding experience and your whole approach makes so much sense. I found myself getting caught up in my old ways of learning (i.e. lots of notes, details etc.) and your vid was divine timing for me:-) I'm literally working on a coding project due Monday...lol. Thanks again and wishing you all the best!

  • @julianamaya974
    @julianamaya974 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Your advice is helpful. I have been passive learning and when trying to implement a project on my own, I get stuck and do not know how to proceed. I switched to a project based learning style, and wow it has helped out a lot. I learned how to apply the concepts and have seen the real world use cases. Always follow project based learning!

    • @firosuke
      @firosuke ปีที่แล้ว

      Not that I have achieved what you are talking about, but ... I think the key is to spend time stepping away and letting yourself feel more deeply what things motivate you the most, and to figure those out consciously; it might need to be done more than once -- and then to try and discover (sometimes non-obvious) ways to remind yourself of those things, then make a habit to consciously look at those reminders regularly. Partly this is a kind of self-care -- deliberate, conscious effort directed towards the (hopeful) benefit of your future self. A simple example might be photo of the person we're doing those things for, on our desk; or a photo of a big belly on the fridge, if we are trying to lose weight. Or phone notifications (perhaps at slightly random times, so you don't just mindlessly cancel it every morning). But the key part is spending enough time away from the activity, perhaps on a regular basis, to appreciate what you are doing it for. I think that for some people, part of this motivation is etched into their lifetime experience; and for others, it is not so clear and we have to work towards it.

    This is amazing advice, cannot recommend enough. I never learned something technical faster than when my company adopted Azure/Intune, with zero experience and knowledge and our engineer that built it left. So when I took over I had to learn. I learned one piece of the platform at a time, implamented what I learned real-time, and then moved on to the next course for the following piece I needed to learn. I became the dept expert in just a few months.
    I'm also lucky that I have a job where my boss is OK that I spend an hour learning while on the clock, and toying with the environment. Not everyone has that opportunity.
