The best way to learn

“The best way to learn is to just go out and make stuff, collaborate with people who are better than you at different things, and experiment.”

“That’s what I’ve found, at least. Just be around people who are awesome and learn off them. Trade ideas around and try stuff.”

“Everything I do, I’ve learned from friends, collaborators, people I look up to, and personal experiments. Just going out and trying stuff.”

I learned Java first (a long, long time ago), and their approach to generics made sense to me at the time.
