Hi,

  1. I tend to spend most of the day learning. I'm currently learning React, so that's what I'm doing at the moment.

  2. I tend to watch YouTube tutorials and build along with them, it comment to life out of the code so that afterwards I can take written notes from what I've learned to help consolidate.

  3. I often try to add extra features to practice what I have learned if the tutorial builds out a project. I then use the documentation to make some extra notes on how the 'stuff' I've learned works.

  4. Yes! first time I started learning react I was super overwhelmed by this whole JSX, HTML like syntax in JavaScript, I came back to it because I was determined to use React, not sure why but I was urged to be able to use React, it was the next step I would either take on Vue, Angular or React out of which I found React had nicer looking code. I got unstuck by taking it slowly reading the docs and realising that its not too bad.

  5. I tend to lean in chunks throughout the day sometimes with LoFi music, but more often than not I have something playing in the background like a YouTube video ;D . If I come across a new error I will google it and there would probably be someone who answered a question like this on stack overflow and if not then I read the documentation; if it's not a new error I have probably seen it before and will try to debug my self. I feel I get use to errors over time. For example I've come across SO many python errors over the 3 Years of Python Development that I don't tend to need to look them up as over time you understand what certain error messages want from you.

:D
