How I Approach Learning New Technologies

Every new framework looks exciting at first, but I have learned that a simple process works best:

  1. Build a small real feature, not a tutorial clone.
  2. Write down what confused me and how I resolved it.
  3. Refactor once after I understand the constraints.

This helps me move from consuming content to building intuition.

If I can explain the trade-offs to someone else in plain language, I know I actually learned it.
