I always try to learn in my spare time but it doesn't work as fast as learning on the job.

At the beginning of this year, I was put on a rails project, It was my first time touching rails code + postgres, I had only played a bit with ruby.
But because of the pressure and having no other options I learned quicker and I was able to complete my tasks.
I am still learning alot about ruby and I always get amazed by how it does things.
Learning on the job allows you to learn way faster than on your own.
