For intermediate level learning, I've always used the one-more-search rule of thumb:
When you think you've got it, do one more Google search to verify your way of thinking. It will often start leading you down a rabbit hole that will make you realize you don't have it, thus causing another one-more-search.
After https://xkcd.com/214/ https://xkcd.com/214/ you are so much further along than if you didn't do just one-more-search.
- pavlov 9y agoI would rather recommend the opposite: forget about the one-more-search rabbit hole and just get started. Three hours spent on programming is going to be much more useful than three hours spent on googling. If you want to learn to play the violin, you're not going to get there by reading books about the shape of Paganini's fingers.
