Get a job in the field you want to work in and seek a mentor, there's no end to learning and it's harder to learn without a mentor
you are absolutely right. i remember when i started coding, i had to learn more than 5 programming languages because i didn't know exactly which one will be suited for what i wanted to be.
so true. And mentors can make a huge difference but it’s hard to finde the ones that fit best for your needs
can you mentor me
I am but a humble starter, not sure if I qualify to mentor someone yet :P BUT, feel free to connect with me, I will do my best in whatever way I can
grateful I will be grateful to connect.What social media can we get connected
'Better done than perfect' is what I would say.
The 80/20 rule is what I use for this! If it's 80% there, then that's good enough as a starting point.
Agreed! That's a good use of the 80/20 rule.
100% agree!
Documenting my learnings, Cultivating a habit of documenting my learnings as my progress on my tech journey. By creating a comprehensive knowledge repository, you not only solidify your understanding but also enable continuous growth and improvement.
Work on your sales skills and build a community around a topic you are highly engaged in.
agreed 100%
Keep pushing yourself out of your comfort zone - it's the best way to acclerate your learning.
exactly
slow is smooth, smooth is fast
I would have been more involved in sales. I believe it's a skill that would help you no matter which field you are in.
Embrace the bugs, stay curious, and enjoy the tech journey!
As a non-technical founder, I have 2 pain points: 1. Slow product shipping - I often find myself relying on external developers to bring my vision to life. This can lead to delays in product delivery as I navigate the coordination and communication involved. 2. Overdependence - while I enjoy managing and delegating tasks to my team, I tend to become dependent on others for critical aspects of the business. That said, I should have learned to code so that if have new ideas right off the bat, I can easily launch a working prototype or MVP to validate PMF. No-code tools is the way to go but if I’d be given the chance, I would choose to learn to code in the traditional way.
More networking, learning, and sharing.
