I found the learning breakdown between exploratory and targeted really helpful!
Personally after working at startups for 7 yrs, 90% of my learning was targeted.
So many of the projects I was working on were new and challenging for me, so I needed to spend a lot of time digging into and leveling up in specific areas.
Sometimes I felt guilty about this seeing so many other engineers spent their weekends working on side projects learning new exploratory skills.
However, I’ve come to see neither way is right/wrong – it’s just different.
And a 90/10 split on targeted vs. exploratory is just fine 😅
Removing meetings, exploratory learning, expectations vs happiness 💡
Thanks for sharing Luca!
