I'd argue that not reading, but doing/implementing/experimenting with things made me a better problem solver. If you "just" read on a topic you will maybe learn to recite what you know, but you will not yet be able to differentiate between different solutions or give reason why a solution is good or not. Of course reading or attending a class is a very good starting point, but it's not the way i learned thinking or solving problems.
- Ensorceled 4y agoI'd argue that this is like saying "not sharpening the saw, but cutting wood makes you a better lumberjack" For example, learning sorting by doing is a waste of time, it will take you years to "experiment" yourself into quicksort. Learning and applying what you learned is the key.
