How to learn faster

As a developer, I hate reading docs ๐Ÿ˜‘. It's boring ๐Ÿ˜‘, it's too professional ๐Ÿ˜‘, it's hard to understand etc. Well you have to fucking calm down and understand the docs bro. There's no better way ๐Ÿ˜…. However, if you don't understand a docs, you can check out tech blogs . Usually a tech blog Would build something with the package or framework you're finding hard to understand. So, that makes it easier to understand as you're able to see it work live .

Another thing I do is go find a YouTube video. YouTube videos might be long but they'll make you understand perfectly what you want to do. Watching a YouTube video have helped me understand some complex things. We all agree that they're things you just need to see someone doing in other to understand. For instance, when I first started building blogs, I spent a lot of time trying to understand how rich content works . CMS like contentful.com and sanity.io had amazing docs but I didn't understand until I took a video lecture on it. Fun fact is at that time I didn't know of graphQl and the video was made with graphQl as the method of calling API yet I understood. That's how amazing videos can be .

Lastly, you can check on GitHub. Trust me there's a lot you can figure out from GitHub public repos . When next js launched their version 13, I used someone's public repo to understand everything!

In conclusion, you should study yourself and with time you'll understand what you find best and comfortable . Also, you find it comfortable doesn't mean you won't find others more comfortable . So, keep testing and make sure to use ChatGPT ๐ŸŒš.
