It is interesting to see this perspective that invites us to reflect on our own learning strategies. I believe that each person has their own pace and style of learning, so there is no single formula that works for everyone. Some may learn quickly and effectively, while others may need more time and focus on the fundamentals. The important thing is to find the approach that works best for each of us and allows us to build a solid base of knowledge. Sometimes taking the time to reflect and evaluate whether we are getting effective results is a valuable practice. In the end, what matters is progress and personal growth on the path of learning to program. Every step counts!
