Learning a method is applying what someone else developed.

Developing your way on the other hand may be out of reach as it could mean doing so without knowing anything about ways it can be done.

Somewhere in between is a sweet spot where you’ve learned enough about how things can be done to choose how you want to do it.

You’ve found it when it feels right and does what you want it to do. But you’ve got to do it slow enough to stay aware of how it feels.

The outcome is not a reliable proof.
