Interesting subject. I am now considering whether to do a video set "JT learns X", where a qualified developer (me) takes a subject I know nothing about, and video my learning, and see all the "well, this makes no sense" -> "how could I even have misunderstood that, it's so simple" moments.
Would that be of interest to anyone other than myself?
- hrktb 8y agoThis could be interesting. Putting a stress on the "qualified developer" part would critical. We are so used to not understanding things (new frameworks every week, new code base to grok, stuff we wrote 3 weeks ago that is just spaghetti), that I think it won't be representative of how most people would enter a subject. I saw this when looking at other people learning languages, where some of them had a "I don't understand anything" reaction and just stop there, because it's just not a normal situation to them ('growing up' was part of securing that comfort zone for a lot of people)
