FAFO

TLDR, Mental model for software developers

For the past two years, there is a surge in online courses that claim to teach you software technology. I have tried some of those courses and failed. They are not supposed to work but the way they are marketed tricks many of us to take them up and feel bad for not achieving the desired result. Recently discovered a technique and I can vouch for it. It has been on the internet as a meme and with all seriousness, this works. It is a wonderful mental-model for learning new technologies.

FAFO (Fcuk Around and Find Out).

The trick to learning new technology is to fiddle around with it and with time one will derive the required value from it.

Elon too approves it in other field as well 😉
