    My question to 10x programmers is how do you study/learn?
    As in what is the way you study/learn(reading, writing it down, doing, actively recalling, explaining in your own words, etc, etc)?
    For how long do you study/learn a day?
    And how often do you refresh/repeat topics you have already studied/learnt?

    He strikes me as a mid-level developer that got famous from TikTok. I've seen some of his tutorials and unfortunately he didn't really seem to know what he was talking about or just brushed through a lot of details.

      This is most developers that got famous or gained a following via social media. If they were really 10x programmers they wouldn't be this actively creating content.
