HOW TO UNDERSTAND/RETAIN COMPLEX CONCEPTS 10X BETTER

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

This article presents a learning technique for understanding and retaining complex concepts: iterative compression through repeated explanation. The idea is to repeatedly explain a concept, with the goal of simplifying it and making it easier to understand. This process involves refining your explanation, focusing on clarity and using first principles, eventually reaching a point where you can explain it from scratch. By doing so, you create a deeper understanding of the concept and make it easier to work with.
