If it wasn't for this thread I probably wouldn't have gotten past step 3. However, I have no clue how to move past step 4. I get the HINT we need to make a request, but I can't figure it out based on the instruction on the page. The page I tried is a 404. I'm not sure what <code> blocks are trying to convey, it's not clear to me. It would be fun to try to get to step 20, but if the clues get more vague at each step, there's no way I'll make it to the end.
1) Relentlessly pursuing all that I could to learn 2) Having a come-to-terms moment that yes it was okay to not know and not feel bad for asking questions
Work is different than school. In work, it is more important to be self-motivated. What this tangibly means is that if I'm working on something that I have questions about, I go to the person who has the answer to my question to ask them. I'll do this many times throughout my day if I don't already know the answer. If you are feeling afraid to feel "dumb", I don't know exactly how to force it, but you need to have a moment where you accept the fact you will not know things and will have to ask questions to get the answers you need. It becomes easy to ask questions once this moment happens.
Also, be the one who initiates change. Don't wait for your manager to tell you what to do [once you have a good idea of your tasks]; be self-motivated and say yes to everything and dive into everything and learn as much as you can. The more you do this, the more you are exposed to, involved in, and talk with others and can pick up enough "background noise" to understand more of the big picture [without explictly asking what the big picture is]. I would say after about 2-3 years you get a good intuitive understanding of your job and role, but I assume that runway depends on various factors that vary by individual.
Granted, it still suffers that it's not a human translator, but it doesn't require a LLM.
