A Series of Cascading, Unrelated Events If my experience in becoming fluent in Portuguese is any indication, finding your way to it is never a straight nor predictable path. It felt like a series of random difficulties and struggles that suddenly, without any warning, magically flipped into comprehension. The experience I've had with computer science literature feels incredibly similar. The path to learning a foreign language, however, is fairly well known: take classes, immerse yourself in the language, if at all possible, put yourself into a situation where that language is the only one you can hear and communicate in, for months. How one gets to fluency in a technical field was far less straightforward and arguably much longer; here's a few things that I've done recently that I believe strongly contributed to the mental shift. In the last year, I've read a lot of philosophical books, specifically Hannah Arendt's The Human Condition and The Origins of Totalitarianism. Arendt's work is incredibly difficult -- it's also deeply rewarding. So rewarding in fact, that I found myself incredibly motivated to fully understand it. I spent hours reading The Human Condition, and even more going through Origins. In order to understand a philosophical work, there is a particular form of world building that goes on. Philosophers, good ones at least, build a coherent and consistent world through a few definitions and primitives. Understanding a work, then, requires building the same logical framework in your mind, from the description that they've established on the page. This ability to construct real, localized and personal meaning from a written account is incredibly similar to the process I find myself going through as I read technical papers and textbooks.
