From time to time I’m revisiting old articles that I have saved somewhere or those that just laying around, etc.

Today, I’d like to share with you two articles by Julia Evans on how to learn new skills, which is a skill on its own.

The second article is actually a presentation from the Strangeloop conference on how to reason about things and make hard or confusing things easier to understand.

Julia Evans How to teach yourself hard things This blog is mostly about learning computer programming / systems. Probably 70% of these posts are in one way or another about things I’ve learned and why they’re exciting.
