Have you ever had to independently learn new technologies not specified in the initial project specifications?

Yes, often in projects, situations arise where it is necessary to quickly learn new technologies that were not initially included in the specifications. For example, when adding functionality related to processing data in JSON format, it may be necessary to study the json library in Python or third-party packages for working with APIs.

In such cases, I usually:

• Study the official documentation and usage examples.
• Write small test scripts to understand how it works.
• Gradually integrate the new technology, checking compatibility with existing code.

This helps to quickly adapt and successfully implement new solutions in the project.
