Discussion on: What is the balance between learning and posting content?

I struggle with this as well!!! I find it really hard to balance meeting a schedule for blog posting and also working on coding and learning. Honestly, I haven't found the right balance yet.

I've started documenting my developer journey which has helped put out content and also forced me to learn things. Although, a lot of the time, writing feels like a chore.

I also came across a recent post on Dev.to which asks us to live stream our coding process. This is a great idea and help which we can do for each other and I've been thinking about this for quite some time. What do you think about this?

I think live streaming is an awesome idea! There's youtubers out there like Thomas Frank that live stream study sessions (here's an example vid: youtube.com/watch?v=Puy3vlRfsig). So it clearly provides some sort of value. Personally, I find making an edited video that shows you building something is a bit more valuable For both the learner and the creator.

I'd start here with looking back at my freelance career. Then at the end of 2019, I wrote about a list of things I don't know about. Lately, I've been working on Phoenix and Elixir, here's my first impressions!

I feel like I should have just one post about my journey. I don't know if that's something people are interested in though. What do you think?
