-
What helps us cement our knowledge–is writing. That’s why I believe in writing code, as opposed to copying code snippets. Because when you type it–you cement that knowledge. (View Highlight)
-
If you want to learn a new topic–write about it. When I want to learn a new programming language, I write a short program using that programming language. When I want to understand how something works–I write an article on this blog about it. (View Highlight)
-
Real writing, where you try to dig the truth, will require you to try and experiment. I’ve learned more by writing articles on this blog, than by reading programming books. (View Highlight)
-
Remember–reading is a habit, writing is a skill. And in order to prefect your skill, you need to write more. (View Highlight)

if you want to improve your writing further, outside your workplace, consider starting a blog. If writing a blog is intimidating for you, consider answering questions on Stackoverflow–but focus on providing textual content, rather than copy-pasting code snippets. (View Highlight)

And if you are scared about being unproductive–remember that you are not judged by how much code you write, or how fast you complete the assignment. (View Highlight)
