> While laid up with a minor but annoying medical issue over the last week, I’ve blogged more than usual. I’ve also spent some time reading through the archives here, and come to the conclusion that the best posts I’ve made – at least from my perspective – follow a similar pattern. They’re posts where I’ve been learning how to do something, or how something worked, and presented what I’ve found as a summary, often as a tutorial.

Totally agree - some of my best blog posts are the ones where I share how I’ve been learning or what I’ve been learning. Really need to get back into blogging!

I have been procrastinating on doing a blog for so long.  
I might give it a shot!

What are alternatives to blogging, to help in learning?

Coding in public maybe - like Advent of Code, or if you don’t mind a paid service (they also have some free challenges every month) solving the challenges from CodeCrafters
