If we allow ignorance to be the gatekeeper of progress, we will stifle the growth of every individual around us.
No one person can know everything. Teaching how to solve these problems will produce better software and better people too.

I (almost) exclusively used “the new iPad” for all my studying and note taking a decade ago. Notability was my go-to app, and I used the touchscreen exclusively. It was a wonderful setup.
Same thing here. I’ve ended up with two places I exclusively check for news: AllSides [0] and a satirical news source of my choice.
AllSides helps me frame big events from multiple perspectives. I’ve always had a hard time seeing these perspectives, so having someone else do it for me helps.
The satirical site introduces me to assorted current events with a bit of lightheartedness. If it seems important enough, I’ll do a quick search to learn what the “real” news is.
With this setup, I am not as well-versed in all current events. However, it’s much less draining, and it also takes less time out of my day!
