We mention often that the best coding bootcamp students embrace the process of learning to code over the results of their code. Now, we have a mental model and data to back up our advice.   In this episode, Peter talks about YouTuber Mark Rober's experiment on how framing the learning process has a direct impact on the results of that learning. We'll discuss Mark's mental model for this framing - "The Super Mario Effect" - and what effect gamification can have on your skill acquisition. LinksMark's TED talkMark's channel Shameless PlugsJunior to SeniorParsitydev30.xyzPeter's YouTube channelSend us a textShameless Plugs 🧑‍💻 Join Parsity - For career changers who want to pivot into software. ✉️ Got a question you want answered on the pod?
