Why I Built MeteSec
·1437 words·7 mins
MeteSec started with a fairly simple realization: I understand things much better when I have to put them into words.
Reading documentation, completing a course or working through a lab can create the feeling that a topic makes sense. Sometimes it really does. At other times, you only notice the gaps when you try to explain the same subject without looking at the original material.
Writing changes the way I engage with a topic. I have to decide what the main point actually is, which details matter and how the individual pieces connect. I have to question whether I understood the reasoning or merely remembered the result. If I cannot explain something clearly, there is a good chance that I have not understood it as well as I thought.
