I found learning to code a little like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle. You can grab one tile and study it very carefully, but it’s not going to tell you very much about where it goes or how the whole puzzle looks. You’ve got to start collecting a bunch of tiles and piecing them together for you start to get the big picture.
This is quite interesting. I think I do this sometimes. When I started working in finance and I remember getting really confused about how people use the word 'exposure'. Looking back it feels like I obsessed too much over one piece of the jigsaw.
