Great post for getting my brain going. :) I’m not sure if it would be a good pair to anyone else but I found (back in the day) that when I wrote a code to design a Pac-Man game (my all time favorite) with all the bells and whistles it helped when I was designing websites. Which in turn helped when I was teaching college computer classes. I would go over every line of code with the students and as I was explaining I may come across a spot where I missed a : or a }. So I guess teaching something to someone else also helps you learn at the same time. Like teaching my son French, which I took many moons ago, has helped me brush up on things I had forgotten.

Yes teaching is a great learning tool! I have found the same thing; especially when you're teaching something you know really well.
We can all succumb to expert's syndrome sometimes; whereby we forget the basics of what we know. Therefore when we start to break it down again for a beginner, we're like; "oh yeah, I'd forgotten that!"
Thanks for the comments, keep learning! :-)
