Making learning Kotlin an atomic habit with Patreon
Not everything I research goes on Medium: how Patreon offers a new way to learn Kotlin in digestible snippets
As a software engineer, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to stay on top of the latest research and advancements. With the fast-paced nature of tech, it often feels like there’s never enough time to cover everything — especially when life gets in the way. This is especially true when it comes to learning new coding topics, like Kotlin.
That’s why I’ve developed a solution to help you stay up to date with exclusive, cutting-edge content on Kotlin, Android, computational topics, and more — all in bite-sized, manageable chunks that fit into your busy schedule.
The solution: I’ve created a Patreon posting a medley of weekly notecards, deep dives, archived research, and more.
Note: This article only discusses paid tiers — free members receive free content, which may not be as frequent.
5 reasons to learn Kotlin/Android topics on Patreon
- Keep up with creator-exclusive content & research: Not everything I research goes on Medium. I’ve had a growing stack of research over the years that I can’t seem to get published in time. The larger it grows, the more nervous I get.
- Easier to Digest: Small snippets allow us to break down complex ideas into manageable, bite-size pieces, which in turn, reduces cognitive load.
- Faster Learning & Retention: Retention and consistency come from increased frequency of a habit. Learning in small pieces can give you a quick win and build confidence.
- Adaptable to Different Learning: Making concepts adaptable to different learning styles and preferences with visuals, writing, and small tidbits to try out.
- Better Problem-Solving Skills: By looking at small, manageable problems regularly, you develop better problem-solving skills through incremental growth and application.
Create your atomic habit of learning code in 2 steps
1. Download the Patreon app and take your learning on-the-go
