Think about this. Who's the person that learns the most from a class? Is it that brainy person that got an A+ on the exam? That person learned a lot. But the teacher, if they're any good, learns more. When you teach something, you can't learn something half-heartedly. You are trying to explain it to the students, so it needs to make sense to you.
Think about this. Who's the person who learns the most in life? Is it that teacher who had to explain it to the students? That person learned a lot. But the builder, if they're any good, learns more. When you build something, you can't learn something half-heartedly. You are trying to actually make it work in the real world, so it needs to make even more sense to you than it made to your teacher.

- sophacles 16y agoThat is pretty absurd. Find the most complex thing you have ever programmed and go teach it to someone. Just because you made it does not mean you can explain it. Further, while explaining there is a pretty good chance you will find some bugs.
