  Learning is a skill you can get better at, so it's just a dependency. Learning is not an unchangeable talent. Some books that will help you learn better: * Power of Intuition, about naturalistic decision making - https://www.amazon.com/Power-Intuition-Feelings-Better-Decis... * How Learning Works - https://www.amazon.com/How-Learning-Works-Research-Based-Pri...

  …AE assumes familiarity with the recognition primed decision making model (or RPD) which I cover in the series. If you want to read books to prepare yourself, read: - Sources of Power by Gary Klein - Power of Intuition by Gary Klein Before AE. And then be prepared to download LOTS of papers to read concurrently while reading the book. AE is not written for the layperson.

  Oh, and, read Gary Klein's book Intuition at Work aka The Power of Intuition.

  …so that's helpful. A lot of design decisions come down to pattern matching: you learn how to recognize certain patterns and that helps you decide (I recommend reading some of Gary Klein's books, e.g. "Power of Intuition"). So you need to expand patterns you can match. Some ideas: 1. Read case studies, e.g. http://www.aosabook.org/en/index.html. But ideally case studies tied to specific problems you're facing at work,…

  …purposeful practice. There's a whole chapter in Peak where he tries to talk about what to do if you are in a field with badly developed pedagogical methods. It's basically a badly written copy of The Power of Intuition (Klein). I was incredibly dissatisfied with it, because I was mostly interested in putting DP to practice, and his recommendations were far from practicable. I wish he had just referred to Hoffman or…

  Reflecting one one's mistakes. "The Power of Intuition" by Gary Klein has some good bits on this, but basically look for the cues and patterns you missed, so you know what to look for next time. been doing that with programming (https://softwareclown.com)…

  …for what you can do better, though that's important. Figure out where the system broke, and how to make the system better. If you want to more deliberately learn from mistakes, Gary Klein's book "The Power of Intuition" is really useful. (I am BTW writing a weekly email with mistakes I've made both programming and in my career - the story I mentioned above is the first email you'd get, and I just sent out the 41st,…

  …be able to practice like a potential chess grand master, we can deliberately challenge ourselves and look to learn from our mistakes. If you squint hard enough, some of what Klein writes about in "The Power of Intuition" seem like attempts to deliberately practice something in a field without that long tradition of pedagogical development (or fields that don't train for tacit knowledge). His paper with Peter Fadde, "Deliberate…
