"This is so simple it sounds stupid, but it is amazing how few oil people really understand that you only find oil if you drill wells. You may think you’re finding it when you’re drawing maps and studying logs, but you have to drill.”

— The Hunters*, by John Masters

personal note: The only way to learn a technology is to actually build something with it in contrast to keep studying and reading about. Escape the tutorial hell by building something with your hands.
