Ask HN: Need a yardstick for progress...
After a year of learning Ruby/Rails now, without any prior knowledge of OOP or any sort of programming, how can you tell if you've progressed sufficiently? My self-opinion sways from satisfied to depression about how little I actually know. What is a good way to tell?
- kellysutton 15y agoWhat can you build, and how quickly can you build it? Probably the 2 best questions to measure yourself by.
- a_a_r_o_n 15y agoCan you produce something similar to what you've done, but new, with little to no referring to references? Are you producing cooler things today than yesterday, according to some definition of cool? Are you still discovering new things about Ruby/Rails (insert any technology here)? Do you understand my questions? :-)
- instakill 15y ago1. Not as quickly as I'd want, but for the most part, yes. 2. Definitely. 3. Absolutely.
