I agree with this. Recently I started blogging about ML and (in future posts) AI safety. I intended this to primarily be a learning experience. I found self-teaching myself material without the aid of a public forum to be pretty boring. This way I feel much more engaged. It also adds an adversarial aspect since I am forced to perform a mental check of “does what I wrote actually make sense” lest someone correct me. I hypothesize that this helps destroy a lot of beginner errors, and strengthens my ability to communicate in the process. Also writing is just a lot of fun too.
I actually found it pretty funny that you posted this the day I started blogging.
