10+years of international development cooperation, now full with project ideas but mediocre skills to turn them into reality...
Main interests: ++ ag-tech ++ stem ++ gardening ++
Ionut - thanks for your insight. I wasn't aware of the misinterpretation, but it does make sense, I'd say, in particular when you apply it to something that is not an isolated skill.
I will take your advice and work on realistic projects. I have a million ideas and it is quite tempting to follow all those "learn me now!" blogs and vlogs and courses, but it's not for the learning in itself. Thanks!

At best, you'll get amazingly good at... copying stuff. Monkey see, monkey do.
I think that's easy to fall into tutorial porn and follow blindly everything, but the endgoal should be „be good at doing/creating/fixing stuff”.
Problem solving skill is just like a muscle: you have to train it over and over again to get better.
What do you think would be more beneficial in the long run (you don't have to answer me, you have to answer yourself):
Makes a lot of sense, Ionut, and I love your direct language! tutorial porn is definitely a term I'll add to my long-term memory.
And the implicit answer is obvious. :-)
