The Purpose: Learn By Doing
The best way to learn is by doing.
Over the years, I’ve found this to be true. You can read all you like, but until you’re halfway in, making mistakes left and right, digging yourself out only slide into a new morass, you have no idea how things actually get done.
But once you finally get it – man, what a rush.
The purpose of this corner of the internet is to explore learning by doing. It’ll start a bit technical (I’m a software engineer by trade), but I expect it will branch into other things over time. I’ve invited some friends to come along. While we might be pros or even gurus in one area of our lives, the real joy is in learning new skills. We’re all learning as we go. We’re going to make mistakes. Feel free to join us, or even correct us. It’s all part of the ride.
Thanks for coming along.
UPDATE: I’ve already had some people ask if they can contribute to the site. If you’d like to contribute, just register. I’ll drop you an email and we can talk what you’d like to write about. Thanks!
