Learning new things can sometimes be difficult and frustrating no matter how motivated you are. I have gathered and wrote down some ideas, thoughts and advices from my journey as a Ruby on Rails learner (but I think that it has a lot of universal truths that can be applied in other topics). I hope that some of you will find useful tips, inspiration or motivation to share their stories: http://blog.ragnarson.com/2016/10/07/developing-as-a-developer.html
