Discussion on: I want to start writing about development, but I’m a beginner. Is this is a bad idea?

Blogging (or similar) about a subject as you're learning it can help in two ways:

  1. It can reinforce the things you're leaning, a bit like take notes in a lecture does.
  2. It helps others who are at a similar stage of learning.

I look back at the things I used to blog about, many years ago, and they're a reminder of where I've come from. Whatever we write about today, we will know more about tomorrow. Rather than never write about anything, we should write about what we know today, with the understanding that we don't know everything.

But if you do decide to write, you'll be in good company, and people will find your content useful, no matter what it is.
