Having a mentor &#8212; someone who is wiser than you in some aspect of what you are doing, and hearing out their suggestions &#8212; will always stretch your brain. Of course, it can take a while to find someone you click with and who [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://mikedebo.ca/2009/03/17/lesson-5-seek-mentors-and-mentees/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Lesson 4: Have a learning plan</title><link>http://mikedebo.ca/2009/02/24/lesson-4-have-a-learning-plan/</link> <comments>http://mikedebo.ca/2009/02/24/lesson-4-have-a-learning-plan/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 24 Feb 2009 14:50:49 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Debo</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Software]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Software-shorts]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Thoughts]]></category> <category><![CDATA[torcampblog]]></category><guid

That is, it&#8217;s your job to understand and create a practical solution to a stated problem. I struggled with this for a while.

The sheer number of the sorts of things I&#8217;d picked up along the way thus far sort of astonished me. Anyways, I&#8217;ve decided to start fleshing out these ideas by writing them out in short-form. I&#8217;m calling them &#8220;software-shorts&#8221;, and [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://mikedebo.ca/2009/01/19/software-shorts/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
