Learn To Fish

Getting the answer to your question isn't enough: If you want to respect the person who helped you, make sure to follow through on the end-to-end learning. This lesson teaches you:

  • A common mistake engineers make when getting an answer that's too shallow
  • What engineers should do to follow-up on an answer and get full value
  • Why it's better to potentially annoy your helper with more questions now instead of later
  • The difference between knowledge and mastery, why the latter is so critical for your career, and how asking great questions is intrinsically tied to mastery-building
