Why geeks should write
A lot of geeks don't write at any any time, why? I believe the most meaningful reason is that they think there is no benefit for them on this field. They said that it takes lots of time for them to understand what they have learned and coding. That's true, but in my opinion, there are some significant benefit for us.
First of all, writing the slog can improve our level on the knowledge. Basically, when we learned something new in the lecture, the first thing we did is to remember it. But slog helps us understand, apply, analysis, and create more. So the more time you spend on the slog, the deeper you can understand the knowledge.
Secondly, when you post something on the blog, the reader can give you professional advise. The TAs and peers can help you find the problem you have on the understanding. Besides, you can get lots of friends here.
Finally, when you have been used to write a slog in your studying life, you will notice that no matter how complicated the knowledge you learned, you can sort it in a clear way.
