I was inspired by Brandon Sanderson, who is a very popular fantasy fiction writer. He released very raw chapters of the book while he was writing it. And so I would like to try to see if that approach might work for someone who isn't an experienced published author. It's more of playing in public. I think that's always what I'm doing regardless of what I'm talking about.

Nicole van der Hoeven is a Developer Advocate at Grafana Labs. She is also a communicator, sharing what she learns through her writing, conference presentations, and YouTube videos. The latter are what brought Nicole’s work to my attention: she runs a YouTube channel focused on one of my favorite tools for thought, Obsidian. In this conversation, we focus on how Nicole uses Obsidian to “learn in public.”
