Agreed. The technology, like Math, is already there. But, the difficult part is to understand when to apply what. Even though I know all the formulas in trigonometry, I have no clue where can it be used practically. So is the case with programming I believe. Knowing syntax and concepts is pointless I think, if I don't know to build a real-world application and understand the bigger picture.
I usually get confused with more information. That's when I sit with a pen and paper to write down quick and dirty notes.
Of late I have started using tags in the digital world to store interesting sites and articles that I run into. It has helped me retrieve the information I need really quick without having to search allover again and/or break my head on illegible notes.
I can relate. There is so much everything out there. However often I find it useful to do a thorough research on topic before getting started, as in cases:
But sure, this makes me hungry for research, having hundreds of bookmarks, and wasting time on that.
Truth is somewhere in the middle i guess. The question here is how to stop yourself from doing excessive research.
Your too much information is very informative ๐ ๐๐๐

Good Article but about consume vs create, don't we consume it every resource to create something or guideline which we follow to achieve a workflow so here's a thought. Technology is like Math which was already there and we just find it by doing some research, hit and trial. We try to create something new with existing resources so we can create a solution for respective problem criteria and that we can't put in ratio.
