Hi,
Currently, I'm pursuing a masters in Control systems. After looking for a couple of blogs by researchers and graduate students I've had some trouble understanding in how to document/write the things I'm learning in graduate school.
Ideally, I'd like to write to help understand how deep my understanding of the subject is but also be a way to contact people who are interested in the field of control systems & machine learning as two overlapping fields via a personal blog.
A few of my concerns involve:
1. How to maintain a technical blog without sounding like an academician i.e examples of other good blogs.
2. How to spread the knowledge from the courses I'm taking legally i.e. how much out of class homeworks/material is it okay to share?
Thanks for reading!
Because, one, you aren't an expert yet, and you would feel a lot of responsibility to try to make sure you always got it right. That would impede your writing, make it more laborious, and greatly increase your chagrin when you (inevitably) get something wrong.
And two, "what I know about Control systems" is frankly not that interesting a topic.
What IS (or at least could be) an interesting theme is "my adventures and fuckups trying to learn Control systems". You take the standpoint of a learner, a way-farer, and you write about what goes wrong, and occasionally, your triumph when things go right.
This adds a human, emotional component. You'd be writing about your (intellectual) struggles and achievements, and that's always interesting -- as well as easy to write about.
You can get as technical as you want, in this role as struggling apprentice, dive really deep when you actually make a discovery. "Wow! I just actually got this concept for the first time!" That makes a great blog post. But so does, "Today I screwed up a whole lab experiment because..."
Human interest, with a technical slant.
