Learn on the Task Incrementally or About the Framework Overall

There are two primary learning methods in my experience:

  1. Learn on the task at hand (either by figuring it yourself or asking someone how to solve/do it)
  2. Learn the overall framework or system (requires good connections, time, patience, and money)

Learning via method #2 is a luxury that we sometimes get. We want more of it but can't always find it because we don't know enough people who are as smart as we are or know as little as we do. I'm currently in a project that requires quite a bit of #1 work and I don't really have too much help on it.

We need to get better at learning in both of these ways.
