I would suggest another step post-feedback: do it again after integrating the feedback into your baseline/process. This is the essence of a feedback loop.
Not only can you be a good programmer by asking more senior devs to talk about their thought process, but you can in turn make them better as well. Sometimes, people have these fuzzy intuitions that have been built up over time and they can't quite communicate them. But once they're made explicit, they become richer for the experience
That's true, @tmanley1985 are you also a programmer? Because I'm trying to switch career at my age now to programming field, and I need a mentor like you to help me be a good programmer

In case if the last part about "The Learning Pyramid " seemed confusing, it's called "Bloom's Taxonomy". It's a really powerful tool for tracking your studying progress.
This describes my learning process. I have always learned another skill or subject to complement the other ever since I started my academic growth spurt in 9th grade. This is how I learned multiple languages and subjects. When I was going to become a teacher, I was going to promote a multi subject approach as this was the main reason why I became interested in academics as it makes it more interesting. I said this in my interview but they did not hire me as principals were just looking for teachers to follow a script to brainwash their students. I quit teaching and never going back. I cannot be an ideologue to brainwash and cause brain damage to students.
Totally agree, i believe this is by far one of the leading problems in modern education and if it'snot resolved in a few couple of years, education itself will basically collapse due to this out-dated totalitarian state of the system across the board. Information have become way too abundant to a point that schools/colleges become obsolete. If we don't pay enough attention, we may get ourself in a very complicated situation.
This is what I was looking for. Intuitively, I used these methods. For example, in a class, I asked the teacher if I could make something on my own from A to Z with the support of the teacher. It was a step further than just listening to his explanations because I already had the fundamentals. Second, multiple resources. For example, I use Duolingo for learning languages and bought some comic books in the target language. I will keep your theoretical framework in my head to enhance my learning strategy.
