How I learned Python while working
summary
Joined Eventbrite and learns Django and Python while shipping features, using Docker, Solr, Cassandra, Redis and Hadoop on real tickets rather than tutorials. Implements a Redis cache then discovers an existing mcash decorator, learns to ask after an hour and time-box study to avoid wasted work. Keeps two lists: what was learned and what to learn, turns notes into shared startup documentation to reduce bus factor risk, and solidifies knowledge by teaching teammates.
