Merry Christmas to all my nighas. And I am back with another study top. If you are a dev or learning to code. And trying to master entire frameworks quickly . Try to have a study partner or programming buddies. Many frameworks in tech are very comprehensive and vast so when when learning something big like React, Django, Next.js.

Try having a partner it makes solo grinding into collaborative effort. You explain concepts to each other teaching reinforces your own understanding catch blind spots immediately, and divide the workload. Like for example one person dives deep into routing/state management while the other tackles backend models/APIs, then you sync up to integrate. This pair programming style has helped me a lot.

It often leads to higher quality code and deeper retention also because you're constantly verbalizing thought processes.

You can find great study partners in several on Reddit subreddits like r/ProgrammingBuddies, r/learnprogramming, or framework-specific ones (r/reactjs, r/django) where people regularly post "looking for a study buddy" threads.

Or freeCodeCamp, The Programmer's Hangout, or specific tech communities, CodeBuddies.org DevBuddies (buddies.dev) that match people based on stack interests. Once you connect, set regular sessions ( loke weekly pair programming via VS Code Live Share or Zoom screen share), pick a shared project, and watch how fast you internalize the entire framework it's one of the most effective ways to go from knowing about it to building production level stuff with it confidently. Evrything that I said applies to any other niche or field also. Give it a try you'll likely progress 2-3× faster than going alone.

Why not? Just go over to any subreddit and make a post. There are many discord groups for SATs prep also

idk i just feel like that would be super akward, also bc im a voicecel and i sound like a little kid or a girl on vc. Its also the accountability thing i dont want to let the other person down. I have tried like going around in some discord servers and stuff but its just nothing for me. Also id rather LDAR, i havent really studied anymore since like last holidays wich was like 10weeks ago. So maybe im just lazy.

Thr thing is Al confidently hallucinates and gives subtly wrong advice
It will spit out code that looks perfect, runs once, but has edge cases, bad patterns, or security issues you won't notice until much later another learner will call you out immediately. With Al you can end up with a beautiful but brittle mess that you don't fully understand. Also there's no accountability with AI

I had a study buddy whom I used to study with on discord vc until I found out he liked femboys idk from that day things didn't feel the same and I ended up blocking him

I find project based learning more effective than brute and force comprehension via textbooks/etc in terms of learning different coding frameworks (although with ML its a bit more nuanced).

That is what I recommend also. Project based learning is much better than binge watching tutorial videos
