This is a great reply. "On the fly" is definitely my experience too. Needing to do something. Doing things slowly, inefficiently, with googling until you find or get told the more efficient way of doing things.

It also helps if you have a friend or a team member who is a lot more experienced than you, a go-to guy with infinite patience to your stupid questions.
