There comes a point in the learning process for any subject where you get so excited about the fact that you understand something new that you feel you need to tell everyone about it. This feels like one of those posts—the author has very limited experience, but he has formalized a coherent (albeit unoriginal) idea and because of that exciting feeling he now wants to shout it to the world. It’s good to write as an exercise to help you grow or solidify your ideas, and a post like this, with all its self-congratulatory language, probably would have ended up better if it were written for OP himself rather than for the world. Instead, by publishing it, the author has the need to establish (and, it feels, compensate for) “why I’m qualified to talk about this”. It’s premature to have shared this underdeveloped idea, just as it’s premature for the author to be boasting his achievements.
- pranaygp 7y agoBingo! I am an author with very limited experience and this was an exercise in growing and solidifying my own ideas. To that end, I chose to write about an underdeveloped idea and share it with the world. If you look me up, you'll find a string of unfinished and incomplete projects and ideas. I'm usually not scared about sharing underdeveloped ideas prematurely - I think it helps me grow (I wouldn't have gotten as much feedback on this post if I never shared it)
