For people who have worked in the technology sector, what form has the most useful learning come in? (ie. learning from school, learning while working on a problem independently, learning while collaborating with people, learning from reading previous work/existing codebases, etc.)?
That’s also almost my experience, but for me “learning while working on a problem independently” applies in all phases about equally. I haven’t tried “learning while collaborating with people” at novice level, but it’s well possible that it’s useful.

When first starting out: learning while collaborating with people.
When going from beginner to intermediate: learning while working on a problem independently.
When going from intermediate to expert: learning from reading previous work/existing codebases

I learned a ton of useful statistics and machine learning by reading textbooks. So far that’s been my best source.
