Learning in Public
19 Nov 2023
Learning in public is a process of learning, it is the act of learning something first, then publishing your thoughts, ideas, and notes on that certain topics in any form, it just has to reach a public audience. This can be in the form of a blog post (something like this), a YouTube Video, or an Instagram post, anything that allows an audience to learn about what you have learned.
A benefit of learning is succinctly articulated within The Odin Project, it states:
“Teaching what you know to others is a great way to solidify what you have learned and can often reveal holes in your knowledge that you wouldn’t have identified otherwise.”
Learning in public takes the willingness to have the stamina to consistently learn and show your work, to be open to feedback, and above all, a willingness to look really, really stupid.
I encourage you to try Learning in Public, and may the benefits of learning in public come to you.
As of the time I’m writing this, I will be creating a Learner’s Wiki for all subjects and perhaps even things you are interested in, where I research and write all about what I learned from the web and reflections upon what and how I am learning this.
