The same applies to learning new technologies. If you're feeling stupid or unconfident it's probably a good sign that you're learning something useful.

- marginalia_nu 5y agoI think challenging is where you want to be at, not overwhelming. If you are feeling stupid, you're probably missing something along the way. This is still useful information, though. It tells you that you should go looking for the missing pieces. Your next task after learning 100 basic words in English should probably not be Shakespeare.
- rjh29 5y agoMaybe it's a difference in mental state. For me I feel overwhelmed and feel stupid when I start something new, because I'm starting from scratch. I have to push past that to get started. Other people may have more of a growth mindset and see the lack of understanding as a propellant to learn more.
