JIT learning is a great skill to have but if it's all you do, it becomes unrewarding over long periods of time. There's something very satisfying about executing stuff that you know how to do well, and you're missing out on time spent in a flow state if you're constantly JIT learning. The quality of your work is lower when JIT learning too. Of course if you only do stuff you know well, you stagnate and get bored, so you need to balance it out.
- random_kris 4y agoI like to do JIT on a prototypes and then use the knowledge to fall into flow state when working on the real product. Once that gets boring time for a new prototypes
- danielvaughn 4y agoI feel the same. It's also just very mentally taxing to learn on the fly. Because usually, I'm trying to develop a feature and I feel the pressure of delivering on time. I find it difficult to learn even on the best days, and if I'm stressed, it makes it much harder to concentrate.
- vsareto 4y agoJIT is great if the things happen to interest you. JIT suuuuuucks if you don't like what you're learning and someone is always telling you what to learn. But even the first situation can fail if you are under constant pressure and deadlines with no breathing room because it sours the enjoyment of learning.
