Lately I’ve noticed that I learn much more when I actually try to build or run something myself. Reading about Nostr, Lightning, Linux or self hosting is useful. But the moment something breaks, refuses to connect, uses too much RAM or simply makes no sense, that’s usually when I really start learning.
So here’s my question:
What is one thing you only truly understood after trying it yourself?
Could be technical or completely unrelated.
