IME the hard thing is not something that there's accessible examples for. If there's a tutorial or an example project, you'll figure it out eventually.
The thing that's hard is something like how to make a project maintainable. You have to have the experience of screwing it up over a long period of time, feeling the pain each time there's a bug to find or a new feature to implement. You won't find a tutorial in how to do this, because the pain is a necessity to learning.
- livinglist 4y agoCan’t agree more! It was until I started my first full time job when I realized how ugly and disorganized my code was… I stopped maintaining one app of mine which I really like and still take pride in only because the codebase was a disaster…
- xudong963 4y agoMaybe you should continue to maintain the codebase and make it elegent, then you'll learn more.
- blowski 4y agoYes, learning what syntax you need to write to make something execute is knowledge. When to use that approach is wisdom. My biggest challenge is recognising that, having learned a particular approach, it doesn't need applying everywhere. For example, just because I know how to configure Kubernetes, it doesn't mean I need to host every application with Kubernetes.
- chii 4y agoKnowledge is information you can recall. Wisdom is knowledge you know how to apply.
- koinedad 4y agoYeah there’s definitely different types of hard things that don’t fit this
