I'm triggered cause of the expectations I had with this platform. I asked a simple question but he chose to respond with some generic "builders build" comment, taking an opportunity to stroke his own ego.
I've asked the same question on Twitter, and some other communities, and got amazing responses!
The key to my question is the timeline: Max knowledge of fundamentals in a short period of time. If anything I see it as a mental resourcing challenge.
Entrepreneurs with intellectual humility would have better responses than trying to grandstand.
If you're wondering what a quality response looks like, I got these on other platforms:
Watch Andrej Karpathy's YouTube video series.
Book suggestion: Hands-on machine learning with scikit learn O'Reilly.
I know how to learn, but when there are millions of sources to learn on the internet, I was just looking for some specific direction from somebody who's done it before.
You’re reading way too much into it and you’re way off center. There’s no ego stroking - “just build it” is legit advice for learning something new, particularly on a fast timeline, and on a free platform I have no idea why you would have any expectations in terms of the responses you’d receive. It would be a different story if you were paying for mentorship or something along those lines.
If he really wanted to say "just build it," there's a difference between saying:
"building is the best way" versus
"this is a builder community. builders learn by building.
if we were in your shoes we would build"
I know this is a building community. He automatically assumed that I wasn't a builder purely cause I didn't keep my streak up. The language is indicative of virtue signaling -- that he and his gang of builders are superior to someone asking a genuine question.
This doesn't require too much reading into it. The english is plain grandstanding and in-grouping.
Ok, tl;dr you don't like the way the answer was worded and your feelings were hurt. Fair. I'd still encourage you to a) remain centered even if you don't like some feedback you're getting b) look at the core of the answer vs. the way it was worded.
It's what worked for me too. I went from 0 to 1 in Python learning on the job shipping code and building stuff to meet a deadline. I don't know another effective way of learning a new skill fast.
