Once you've reached an advanced level of knowledge about any given language, my experience is that the best way to get better is to find someone who knows more than you and learn from them. Pair coding works well for this.
If you have a job that exposes you to these people, that's great. This often gets confused with "having a job is the best way to get better," but it won't help you one bit if you're the best at what you do for your company.
- ianamartin 12y agoThanks, I really appreciate this. I had a job where I was pretty much the best at what I was doing (not Python; SQL Server). I really wanted to get better at Python, so I got a job doing Python. My boss has a serious understanding of this stuff, and I'm learning a ton. He's really showing me how much there is to learn. I guess I'm just impatient to get better faster.
