Kathy Sierra explains how developers can build skills rapidly by managing cognitive resources and understanding how the human brain learns.
For a free sample of Kathy's book, visit: goo.gl/AU7A6j From Fluent 2015. "Every moment of every day there’s a new language, framework, format, protocol to learn. Nobody has a more dynamic skill set than a web developer. We’ll look at the one metaskill to rule them all: The ability to come up to speed and stay there, over and over again. Abouyt Kathy Sierra (SeriousPony): Kathy Sierra worked as a game programmer, interaction designer, and learning specialist (Sun Microsystems, UCLA Extension) before creating the best-selling Head First series for O’Reilly. She was the original creator of one of the largest software developer communities, javaranch.com."Why it's here

On ““A state of flow can be achieved by deep work””
I'm skeptical about willpower, too.. but what about "cognitive resources"? I bookmarked this because while I don't know if it's the whole and full truth (how could it be?), it certainly seems interesting, the whole talk is but here's the start of the relevant bit: link to this video

On “Ask HN: How do you keep improving?”
…g that, find e.g. talk of someone explaining some hard techniques and then try to follow the advice. Even and especially if it feels clumsy at first. (More on those two here: link ). 3. Switch to a new job where you'll be exposed to new things. try to find a job where people do code review, feedback is how we learn faster. 4. Learn how to learn: link to this video 5. Reflect on your mistakes, try to find what cues you missed and what you should look for next time. I've been doing this on weekly basis (you can read the results at link ) and I've learned a huge amount from figuring out underlying cause of what I did wrong.…

It's about how learning anything costs cognitive resources and what it takes to become good at something. It doesn't talk about code specifically, but it's meant to be applied that way.
Our brain can get really good at something without us being able to tell specifically how it's doing it. So don't get discouraged by giant lists of prerequisites you may get! We have no idea what we are talking about
