We had a great chat with @ness_labs members about learning in public. The main barriers were:

(1) Fear of judgement: when you feel like you suck too much & don't want to pain people with your current skills level

Example: are you confident enough to learn how to sing in public?

(2) Imposter syndrome: when you think documenting your learning journey is akin to "stealing" content from course creators

Example: are you confident you can add your own spin on what you learn & craft a personal take so it becomes original content?

(3) Prolificity vs politeness: when you don't want to contribute to the ambient noise by sharing too much, especially without a strong grasp over the concepts you're studying

Example: are you confident enough to post lots of questions on Twitter about what you're learning about?

How I grew my twitter from 0 to 49.9K followers in 13 years - AMA

The two most common questions were:

1) how I feel about it: it's an arbitrary number & doesn't really "feel" like anything, but I'm immensely grateful for the global community of curious minds 🙏🏽

Seriously, where else can you share shower thoughts & get actual feedback?

2) how i did it:

• 0-100 random life snippets (not kidding see tweet below which says "is eating noodles")
• 100-1K used a bot that liked tweets based on preset keywords (those were the times!)
• 1K-3K found my tribe
• 3K-50K created useful content

"What gets measured, gets managed" is one of the biggest fallacies in management circles — a dangerous trope people keep on repeating without ever really thinking about it... 🧵

Original quote from the 1956 paper: "Quantitative measures of performance are tools, and are undoubtedly useful. But research indicates that indiscriminate use and undue confidence and reliance in them result from insufficient knowledge of the full effects and consequences."

Which journalist Simon Caulkin summarized as: "What gets measured gets managed — even when it's pointless to measure and manage it, and even if it harms the purpose of the organisation to do so."

Let me tell you about a sad but illuminating story, where a visionary physician informed the world of a transformative way to save lives, only to see his own life destroyed 🧵

In 1846, the Vienna General Hospital was experiencing a troubling problem.

Its two maternity wards, both housed within the same hospital, had dramatically different maternal mortality rates: around 10% versus 4%. Almost all the maternal deaths were due to puerperal fever.

The reputation of the first ward was so bad, women begged on their knees to be admitted to the second ward.

Some women preferred to give birth on the street—pretending to have given sudden birth on their way to the hospital, so they could still qualify for childcare benefits.

I finally did it! Uploaded my very first YouTube video. Just saying hello 👋

If you like my articles and would like to get videos around the same topics, hit subscribe :)

200 subscribers - thank you! Also I got my first dislike, I don't know if I'm psychologically prepared enough for YouTube 🥲

Things to improve for the next video:
• Look at the freaking camera!
• Straighten the painting
• Add an outro like the pros?

First actual video! More lessons:

• For the love of everything, please look at the camera
• Turn off the fan when filming
• Try filming during the day so it's not so dark

If you wanna level up the fastest hack is to hang out with DIVERSE people who are already at that level.
