Peer Learning vs Online Courses
Developers should adopt peer learning to accelerate skill acquisition, reduce knowledge silos, and improve code quality by gaining immediate feedback and diverse insights from colleagues meets developers should use online courses to efficiently upskill or reskill in specific areas, such as mastering a new programming language like python or learning a framework like react, especially when formal education is not feasible. Here's our take.
