Learning in Public
Learning in public is the practice of documenting and sharing your learning process as it happens — including confusion, wrong turns, and partial understanding — rather than waiting until you are an expert to speak. It positions the creator as a fellow traveller rather than a distant authority, building deep trust with people on the same journey.
Example
'Week 3 of teaching myself reinforcement learning. I thought I understood Q-learning. I do not understand Q-learning. But I found the best analogy that partially captures it, and I'm sharing it here because partial understanding is more useful than no understanding and a lot of you are in week 3 too.' That's learning in public — and it's one of the most powerful content formats on LinkedIn.
