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

Not much has really changed for me. Official docs and books are still my go-to sources. I like reading the docs from start to finish, and I also enjoy the structured approach of books from publishers like Manning, PragProg, and O’Reilly.
When it comes to AI, I think it’s helped me use my time better. I’ll often have it summarize articles, videos, or whatever else so I can decide whether it’s worth diving into the whole thing. I also use it to clear up small doubts, but I’m pretty cautious with that since I don’t fully trust the answers it gives. I always make sure to double-check.
