become a BETTER SOFTWARE DEVELOPER with a pyramid of skills

In this video I'm presenting a pyramid of skills, a technique that will allow you to structure the list of skills that you want to learn, organize learning process, and to determine how much time to spend on practicing different skills.
Whether you want to learn faster, become a more productive developer, gain a completely new skill or become an expert in your niche - you need to understand what skills you need and how much you need to learn about each topic.

📚 Resources
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_stages_of_competence - four stages of competence, a concept on which I loosely based my pyramid
* https://www.slideshare.net/igorkokcharov/kokcharov-skillpyramid2015 - A hierarchy of skills by Igor Kokcharov, PhD - a similar concept that adds one more level (craftsman), which I find quite interesting
* https://apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a084551.pdf - Dreyfus model of skill acquisition, it overlaps with the hierarchy above but it is much deeper and explains the process of acquiring knowledge (summary available on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreyfus_model_of_skill_acquisition)
* https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn - "Learning how to learn", one of the most popular on-line courses ever, by Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski; it explains the process of acquiring knowledge (I'll be coming back to this topic in the future)
