Add public learning

[JVSONV]

Consider adding a blog section to your portfolio website where you can share your thoughts on industry trends, your latest projects, or tutorials. This will demonstrate your expertise and help you establish yourself as a thought leader in your field.

The following is from Shawn "swyx" Wang :

You already know that you will never be done learning. But most people “learn in private”, and lurk. They consume content without creating any themselves. Again, that’s fine, but we’re here to talk about being in the top quintile. What you do here is to have a habit of creating learning exhaust:

1. Write blogs and tutorials and cheatsheets.
2. Speak at meetups and conferences.
3. Ask and answer things on StackOverflow or Reddit. Avoid the walled gardens like Slack and Discord; they’re not public.
4. Make Youtube videos or Twitch streams.
5. Start a newsletter.
6. Draw cartoons (people loooove cartoons!).

Whatever your thing is, make the thing you wish you had found when you were learning. Don’t judge your results by “claps” or retweets or stars or upvotes - just talk to yourself from 3 months ago. I keep an almost-daily dev blog written for no one else but me.

Guess what? It’s not about reaching as many people as possible with your content. If you can do that, great, remember me when you’re famous. But chances are that by far the biggest beneficiary of you trying to help past you is future you. If others benefit, that’s icing.

Honestly, I could put the whole article here, it's that good! To continue reading click Shawn "Swyx" Wang: Learn In Public
