Breadth matters more than depth at least at first.

👣 Start Walking

From my experience learning Houdini, the first task isn’t to understand everything properly.

It’s to see what’s possible.

At first, it’s not about remembering.

It’s about recognition.

With enough exposure, things begin to feel familiar.

They’re not understood yet—just familiar enough to name.

You’re building a vocabulary.

In time, those words become your first landmarks.

🧭 From Landmarks to a Map

Over time, those landmarks form a personal map shaped by:

• the work that feels interesting
• the problems that keep appearing
• the directions worth following

Depth comes through the work itself.

A project raises a problem.

That problem prompts a question.
