I missed this post when it came out in December: In Defense of Blub Studies, https://www.benkuhn.net/blub
Some really excellent points:
> Blub studies is a never-ending treadmill of engineering know-how. It’s the fiddly technical details of how Git stores data, or how Postgres locking semantics [work], or why pip install failed this time.…Blub studies is more generalizable than it seems, and has its own way of compounding over time, too. That makes it a lot more useful than you’d expect
@codesections It's not just programming. This is how you learn to understand computers in general.
It's also the approach I've taken with physics and, to a lesser extent, mathematics. Doesn't work as well, though, because you're not reverse-engineering the result of human minds.
