Importantly, the point doesn’t also say publish them while you’re still learning them. I think maybe there’s an argument for writing early both as a tool to learn a topic (the parts where the argument is weak you need to learn more!) and as a way to have empathy for a beginner audience (you’re the audience!). Neither of these imply needing to publish the post immediately. You could hold onto it for some time, shop it around to friends or coworkers with more experience, etc.
I also agree with the point, because I find there are so many things I want to write about as I’m learning them, but I’ll say “ah, let’s hold off for just a bit” but by the time I feel like I know enough to truly put out a good post, I’ve lost the learner’s spark and enthusiasm I had when first had the idea for a post.
