It's an analogy on learning. Every other day there's some blog post on HN about some analogy on some self improvement topic like learning, project management or complexity or whatever...
I'll tell you what learning isn't. Learning isn't coming up with new analogies for concepts you already completely understand over and over again.
I and pretty much everyone on this planet already knows what learning is, and unless you have a new learning technique, what is the point of comparing learning to a fractal? There's nothing new here.
I'm not trying to reprimand what this person wrote this but when you see some flavor of this on HN all the time it gets old.
