I told my friend I was learning music. She asked what I was trying to learn, so I said music. She asked what in specific, so I gave her the current list. She thinks I’m kidding.

- Dirtywave M8
- Chompi
- Abelton Note

Those are the things I’m actively working on with a laundry list of other things for later. The moment I get a little bored with one thing, I jump to another.
It’s called gestalt learning. It’s where you have a need to understand all aspects and angles of a topic before you “get it”.
That’s exactly me. It drives my wife crazy.
Same. I also find it annoying of myself, because I’m not satisfied that a function does a thing but not the why/how. I need to know what exactly is happening behind the scenes to modify the data, otherwise I don’t know if it’s the best method to use in that scenario.
I’m just getting a lot of results for language learning but I will research this more later when I have a chance because your description speaks speaks to me as that was often my experience.
