Notes on learning in public
Writing about something before you fully understand it feels risky, but it’s one of the fastest ways to actually understand it. A few things that have helped:
- Publish the rough version. You can always revise later.
- Link to sources so future-you can retrace the reasoning.
- Treat comments and pushback as free debugging for your mental model.
None of this is novel advice, but it’s easy to forget when a draft feels “not ready yet.”
