Becoming an expert in software engineering or any other field isn't just about combining years of experience or learning the latest frameworks. Learn more about two essential frameworks: 4 Stages of Competence and Bloom's Taxonomy.
Awesome read. You had me since the beggining. “Becoming an expert in software engineering or any other field isn't just about combining years of experience or learning the latest frameworks.” This should be the opening to most job listings.
Great article. I've read it while applying the structure to learning how to write well, and it fits well too - both the 4 stage of competence and Bloom's levels. You can frame your masterclass as getting from Conscious Incompetence to Conscious Competence :)
Btw - the link to the masterclass is broken, I get 'This page could not be found'.
We all dream of becoming the ones creating and advancing any field, but we can't reach it without going through all the steps.
It's also related to the concept of the Adjacent Possible (read about it from Cal Newport's "So good they can't ignore you", but the concept comes from Stuart Kauffman). It's about operating in the space just at the edge of your current skills.
In the beginning, the edge of your current skills is the normal skills for someone else. But when you keep advancing those levels, the edge can be state of the art for that field.
Great article, Milan. It was great to learn some of these concepts that I didn't know about!

Thank you, Fran! Yes, that concept has many names, such as the “Goldilocks rule”.
I loved this article it clarified a lot of things that I needed thank you❤️
