How quickly do you pick up on new info? What kind of things come quickly to you and what takes time?

I live off of patterns that I see. Sometimes it gets me right in the right place... and sometimes it's too convoluted for me to "see". I've been getting good at simply observing things. Experimentation is also a big thing with me.
If you go too deep, I'll be lost. But I ask why to each pattern to get to the bottom. I learn certain aspects that seems to influence outcomes or reasons why it may occur... but I keep asking why.
I am a fast learner also because I read a lot. Research and reading is probably my biggest strength. I can also translate requirements either for people using stuff or technical. I see lots of different things but when I'm lost... I am very lost.
It sounds wierd but I don't know how else to explain it.
I learn quick when I have a bigger picture to associate things to, so I do learn first the reasons behind why something is made. Then, I dive in to the smaller details (how to use this and that, tips and tricks). Lastly, I try it and readjust myself until I get used to it.
Does it matter? I think what matters more is to keep learning.
For me, it is fulfilling to have myself with sort of a long-term relationship with what I learn. Over time, you stay away with it a bit as you improvise and impose your creative and non-traditional ways of doing it. You made your skill your own and it brings a happy thought.
I am one of those who learn in practice, not to pass first to the theoretical and then apply it... It is at the same time or I do not give any results.
No, but I prefer to learn something thoroughly than get caught off guard by what I don't know. I can learn the basics of a new framework in a few weeks, but going in depth with something always takes time.
If the incentive to learn a thing does not come from my own motivation, I'm useless.
Everything math-y is also pretty slow.
Just reading something won't stick in my head so I follow a simple process.
Read, write, revisit at the end of the day and again at the end of the week.
Works for me :-)
I also started a new habit in late 2016. Start every day with a bit of learning. I spend the first 30-60 minutes in work learning something. Currently I'm doing the Linux essential system administration course from the Linux foundation.
Depends on how much I've got going on and what I'm learning.
I learned to weld at my current job on site, and almost didn't catch on in time.
Programming through my college courses proved to teach me quickly. It was something I am passionate about,and not something I just know I have to do.
So..... Maybe fast?
Slow learner, it took me, nearly 4 months to know why and how to use React.
I can't confine myself as either a fast or slow learner.
Everything depends on what
datayou are trying to pick up and reorganize them intoinformation.As an example, I can pick up useless gossips (data) and turn them into stories (information). But I am pretty bad at turning numbers (data) into patterns (information).
So that means, I could be a better writer than a mathematician.
I believe that it does. I am more comfortable with books that tells stories (practical) than ones that throw theories (academic) at you.
So I say, find which ever way works better for you and stick with it.
About one year ago, I though what you say as joke as description of myself. I just keep asking to myself why I just can not build a web application completely by myself: Code javascript, css, HTML, PHP, implement some framework, testing, UI, UX, designing database, and code SQL while some people younger than me who graduated from some local vocational school can do that easily.
But, recently I got a revelation. Why not just transfer what we already knew and what our objective into an algorithm. So this algorithm may be looking some appropriate libraries on the Github based on our goal: Make a summary of each library, asking to us it is good or not, if yes then download it as part of building stack. This algorithm can also find the appropriate application design by implementing meta search engine, such as grab HTML design from popular website based on our design goal. Then, it will generate some possible HTML and CSS design, offer to us which the best design to use.
Hahaha, that idea may seems too vague.
:D
