Fabian فابيان(@iamfabian):How do I learn about a technology or a company? I talk to the experts building the products and approach them like a student. Consider yourself the idiot ont he subject and they are the expert. I am from the industry so we can skip first principles (as people here love to excessively use the term). I ask the expert to explain what they are building, then ask questions to challenge them but also with the main goal of learning more. I try to understand why they believe in what they’re doing. I don’t approach them assuming they are wrong and looking to prove it, and I see more of that going on.
