I recently wrote a blog post about "learning loops" which is the process of learning more when motivated by the progress you are making: https://minireference.com/blog/learning-loops/ https://minireference.com/blog/learning-loops/ This is how most autodidact programmers learned to code, and a really good way to make progress on one's own. Not because of taking courses, but doing projects... For context: I've also been many many years in the formal education system, but all the actual useful skills I have developed came from a self-directed learning loop.
