Learning and Social Exposure
When you teach something to others it helps you to get knowledge about a specific topic in detail and also clear all your doubts. You do research, you go through the documentation, you watch some other tutorials, you build projects and when you make videos after learning all the things you need to write code again, you need to look at the whole application, again and again, you redo few things and a lot of things are repetitive so eventually it makes your concepts more clear and helps you to remember everything in-depth for a long time.

It also helps in personal development and removes social anxiety. A lot of developers don’t talk much, do not have social skills, and love to isolate themselves from others. Being on camera, explaining things to others, and talking gives them an opportunity to communicate, to share their opinion which eventually helps them to remove social anxiety and learn how to deal with other people.

If you are a passionate developer we suggest you not only watch the videos of renowned programmers/developers on YouTube but also start your own YouTube channel and there are multiple benefits to doing that. Let’s discuss this in detail…
