Fast & Furious Learning
summary
Six concrete habits, not pep talk: a six‑step method for faster learning (explore learning style and resources, build fundamentals, narrow focus, harness excitement, grind with iteration, total immersion). Claims include 2,000 video tutorials and 22 million views as evidence of testing methods, and a built example — a Ruby on Rails app that catalogs breakdance moves to force focused practice. Advice names tools and tactics: HTML/CSS/JavaScript first, prefer native libraries (localStorage), use ESLint/snippet libraries, follow Apollo/GraphQL channels, check ego and iterate.
