ADVICE

Judge Tech By User Benefit

  • Understand why a new tool or library exists before committing to learn it.
  • Ask whether it meaningfully improves your users' experience before diving in.
INSIGHT

Mix Modalities To Solidify Learning

  • Learning styles as rigid categories are misleading and often overemphasized.
  • Use multiple modalities (read, hear, do) because each strengthens understanding differently.
ANECDOTE

  • Scott shared how his wife ran psychological tests and revealed his uneven processing strengths.
