A Junior Developer getting my hands dirty in Software Development. I would like to document my learning journey here and open source everything that I am learning.
I do find meta-learning useful in a lot of ways. As the adage goes weeks of working can save you hours of planning, same goes with meta-learning.
However I do feel like in a lot of cases meta-learning feels more effortless compared to actual learning, and especially the kind of meta-learning by scrolling through articles online rather than diving into codes, watching Thomas Frank/Ali Abdaal videos on 'how to be more productive' on YouTube. This naturally drives up our ratio of meta-learning vs learning.
At the end of the day, I feel like meta-learning (learning about career strategies, productivity hacks etc.) is crucial for your development, but maybe it should cover 10% of your total learning time rather than 90%. (In my experience, I can be sucked into learning how to learn and productivity hacks for hours without actually doing the learning, which is kind of counterproductive)
