If I thoroughly understood something (sooner or later, after some sleep or not), I devise a mental model that allows me to compress the big data and facts about the subject into some generic vision (like formulas in maths). And much of the data and emotional experience then becomes forgotten. I believe this is somehow related to the mechanics of The Curse of Knowledge.
The more models you have, the more effective is the storage, so that's why it is important to see how Go works, how Unreal Engine 4 is scripted. But this comes with a price that you are no longer able to express some complex concepts using just the power of words. Especially in times where people get tired of texts and prefer pictures.
For me it is also hard to pick the technology. I enjoy testing every aspect of it (like LXD from recent) and discover new things. This creates problems with employers, who just want things to be done quickly. But if the problem I need to tackle is a good fit for a technology, the process get tremendous boost. So, before starting to learn, try to get wet into a problem you're trying to solve. As Google found out - practice first works better, and for all other cases there should an emotional engagement from the awesomeness and importance of what are you trying to achieve. =)
