Have you changed the way (and what) you learn?

Have you changed the way you learn? Maybe you started off using docs and tutorials and are now an avid book reader or course watcher? Or maybe you do less long-form content now and prefer shorter tuts/docs/screencasts?

And in an age of AI have you changed what you learn? Maybe you now only get more of an overview and leave the details for your AI tools? Or do you still aim for a good understanding of the languages and frameworks you use?

Curious to hear your thoughts!

Initially, I watch video tutorials/courses. But reading a good book after on the topic is much more fulfilling for me. I feel like I learn better through reading text. But of course, actually writing code enforces my learning.

It’s encouraging to hear some people still like books! :grin:

I still read books, but I’ve changed the way I consume them to more audio books now.

AI really changes the way I learn.

But for troubleshooting AWS EKS, some AI gives out solution that doesn’t exist (no such configuration parameters), over complex solution to solve a problem or even wrong answer.I think AI may be good at some aspects (e.g. programming) of IT but not all of them.
