You shouldn’t be afraid to fail, man! Instead of doing something in Matlab, try it in numpy and just do some research to figure out what you want to do.

Eventually you’ll pick up tips from all your online resources, and you’ll realize you could have done some things better the whole time.

Yes! There's many ways to learn. One way is essentially the brute force method: Google every Single thing until you get it. That's how I learned Nimoy when doing some basic image analysis.

I use a depth-first tree traversal to learn a subject. Start at something broad like "physics" and work your way down each sub-topic.

Yeah, but you better define some stopping criteria or else you'll end up with a PhD if you're not careful.
