Writing is like rubber duck debugging for me.

People always ask questions like "How are you thoughts if you are dead/blind?" I'm neither of this and most of my thoughts don't look like images, text, or sound. They are their own convulted thing, a thought.

Talking and writing about them helps me to "linearize" them and to find the holes.

Especially technical writing helps to get things in check. Did I miss some steps? Can I reproduce my conclusion from my text alone, without any extra input?

Write something, try to explain things, it can help you to understand better; even if you think you already know them well.

You don't even need to publish your stuff, though others people input can help greatly too, even if the just ask questions because they don't know the topic as well as you.



The Feyman Method!


Nice!

Didn't know this was a thing :D
