Try to solve an interesting but not business critical side quest with a new method. Give yourself at least some time to play again. Then try to understand what your did and extend your taxonomy with that new understanding.
Going on a walk and explaining our debating it with a peer is great for that...
As an adult you typically learn through extending existing knowledge, not necessarily something completely new.
- Szpadel 3y agoI'm feeling like I'm sometimes invent something again from scratch that is already known and I could just read about it somewhere instead, but I don't know how it's called yet For some unique problems that's IMO fine but form time to time I read somewhere something that gives me another perspective and dramatically changes my approach That's why I'm looking for a way to eg learn more about some interesting algorithms that I don't know that I need before I read about them
