Blog about things you don't understand yet

A developer shares their philosophy on blogging as a learning tool. The core idea: write about topics you don't fully understand yet, always argue a specific point, and treat writing as a forcing function for clear thinking. The author explains why taking a controversial stance makes consistent blogging easier (similar to how poetic structure constrains word choice), why changing your mind mid-draft is a good sign, and why beginners can sometimes explain topics better than experts. Practical advice includes rewriting your introduction after finishing a draft, using LLMs for technical feedback, and developing a thick skin for public criticism.
