“Start a Blog to cement the things you learn. When you teach what you’ve learned in the form of a blog you can see the gaps in your knowledge and fill them in” — My Manager (2019)

“創建一個博客以鞏固您所學到的東西。 當您以博客的形式講授所學知識時，您會發現自己的知識空白并予以填補。” — My Manager(2019)

I first began blogging 8 months ago when I was tipped by my manager at work to do so as a means of cementing new things that I learned. He said “When you teach what you’ve learned in the form of a blog you can see the gaps in your knowledge and fill them in”. Fast-forward 8 months and I now have top writer status in Medium’s Artificial Intelligence category, whilst being amongst the top 5–8% of earners on the platform — It’s fair to say that cementing my knowledge this way has had some really cool by-products which have also opened many doors to me.

我最初在8個月前開始寫博客，當時我的經理在工作中提示我這樣做是為了鞏固我學到的新知識。 他說：“ 當您以博客的形式教授所學到的知識時，您可以看到并補充知識中的空白 ”。 快進了8個月，我現在在“中等”人工智能類別中排名第一，同時又是該平臺收入中排名前5至8％的人之一-可以這么說，以這種方式鞏固我的知識確實讓我感到很酷-產品也為我打開了許多大門。

I am going to tell you as my manager told me…

我要告訴你，就像我的經理告訴我的那樣…

Start a Blog to cement your knowledge. When you teach what you’ve learned in the form of a blog you can see the gaps in your knowledge and fill them in!

創建博客以鞏固您的知識。 當您以博客的形式教授所學到的知識時，您可以看到知識上的空白并加以填補！

I believe I can end this post here, but in case you are still not convinced, I am going to give some reasons as to why I believe it’s extremely important for you to start a Data Science blog even if you are an aspiring Data Scientist that started his/her first course yesterday.

我相信我可以在這里結束這篇文章，但是如果您仍然不滿意，我將給出一些理由說明為什么我相信即使您是一位有抱負的數據科學家，建立一個數據科學博客對您來說也非常重要昨天開始了他/她的第一門課程。

Note: This is just one aspect of the greatest Data Science project you’ll carry out. View the link below for more on the most important Data Science project you’ll ever have to do.

注意 ：這只是您將要執行的最大的數據科學項目的一方面。 請查看下面的鏈接，以獲取有關您將要做的最重要的數據科學項目的更多信息。

建立您的在線足跡/個人品牌 (Build Your Online Footprint / Personal Brand)

I want you to press Ctrl + T on your keypad and type your name in on Google (or whatever your preferred search engine is). What comes up? Nothing? Ok, type in your favourite artist name. What comes up? Their background, their album, their tours and other channels to connect with them on, etc.

我希望您在鍵盤上按Ctrl + T ，然后在Google上輸入您的名字(或您喜歡的搜索引擎)。 發生什么事了？ 沒有？ 好的，輸入您喜歡的歌手姓名。 發生什么事了？ 他們的背景，專輯，旅行和其他與他們建立聯系的渠道，等等。

If you want to be a rockstar Data Scientist, people should at least know where to find your work — Kurtis Pykes

如果您想成為搖滾明星的數據科學家，人們至少應該知道在哪里可以找到您的工作-Kurtis Pykes

Yes, you may find it cringey to type your own name in on Google (or your preferred search engine) and I don’t blame you, I do to. However, for most companies you apply for, it’s likely that they will do exactly that. Alternatively, If you search your name and a load of Data Science articles occur, you’ve basically handed them a second resume and they can make impressions of you based on your work. The employer has a chance to pick your brain before they ever sit down to speak to you about the job which can give you a strong competitive edge over other candidates.

是的，您可能會發現在Google(或您首選的搜索引擎)上鍵入自己的名字很困難，我不怪你，我這樣做。 但是，對于您申請的大多數公司來說，他們很可能會做到這一點。 另外，如果您搜索自己的名字，并且出現了大量的數據科學文章，則基本上是將它們交給了第二份簡歷，并且他們可以根據您的工作給您留下深刻的印象。 雇主有機會在他們坐下來與您談論這份工作之前動腦筋，這可以使您比其他應聘者具有強大的競爭優勢。

Furthermore, you can begin to establish yourself as an expert on the topic you write about and everything you put out can be considered to be intellectual property. Cool feat!

此外，您可以開始在所撰寫的主題上確立自己的專家地位，所發表的一切都可以被視為知識產權。 很棒的壯舉！

Note: It’s important to think carefully about the things you decide to put out because you will be associated with what you write about.

注意 ：仔細考慮您決定發布的內容非常重要，因為您將與自己撰寫的內容相關聯。

軟技能開發 (Soft Skill Development)

Let’s take 4 soft skills that are highly regarded as ones that boost career growth and tie them into how a Data Science blog helps — there are more than 4 soft skills but the point is to hone in on the fact that having a data science blog is something you should do.

讓我們采用4種被認為是可以促進職業發展并將其與數據科學博客的幫助相結合的軟技能–超過4種軟技能，但重點是要深化擁有一個數據科學博客這一事實你應該做的事。

Emotional Intelligence

情商

Emotional Intelligence is referred to as the ability to recognise the emotions of others and manage your own. Improving as a Data Science writer inherently constitutes learning the links between people’s emotions and how they behave hence allowing you to put yourself in the shoes of your target audience, which gives you a platform to influence them towards a common goal. For instance, you may be able to put yourself in the shoes of a beginner learning a very difficult technical topic and be able to break it down in a very simple way for the target audience to understand.

情商是指識別他人情緒并管理自己的情緒的能力。 成為一名數據科學作家，從本質上來說就是學習人們的情感與其行為方式之間的聯系，從而使您能夠立足于目標受眾，這為您提供了一個平臺，可以影響他們實現共同的目標。 例如，您也許可以讓初學者學習一個非常困難的技術主題，并能夠以一種非常簡單的方式將其分解以使目標受眾理解。

Growth Mindset

成長心態

A growth mindset is the belief you have ultimate control of your ability, and can learn and improve. I think this one is self-explanatory. If you never want to run out of ideas on topics to write about, you will have to continually learn — it’s as simple as that.

成長心態是一種信念，您可以控制自己的能力，可以學習和提高。 我認為這是不言自明的。 如果您永遠都不想耗盡要寫的主題的想法，那么您就必須不斷學習—就這么簡單。

Openness To Feedback

開放的反饋

Feedback is a major feat within the work environment. Being open and able to receive development feedback is critical to success at any job. Well, guess what? The minute you publish on your article to make your work public, you open yourself up to feedback. For example, I remember the upheaval that was caused on LinkedIn when I made a mistake about the assumptions of Linear Regression — yes, I made a mistake discussing one of the easiest Machine Learning algorithms ever. Although one may of taken this to be a public embarrassment, and many of the comments people were sharing were adding fuel to the flame, instead, I felt a much greater sense of responsibility to properly research whatever I write about and I was quick to befriend the person that called me out for helping me become better.

反饋是工作環境中的一項重大成就。 開放并能夠接收開發反饋對于任何工作的成功都是至關重要的。 好吧，你猜怎么著？ 在您發表文章以公開發表作品的那一刻，您就敞開心to接受反饋。 例如，當我對線性回歸的假設出錯時，我記得在LinkedIn上引起的劇變- 是的，在討論有史以來最簡單的機器學習算法之一時，我犯了一個錯誤。 盡管這可能是一種公開的尷尬，而且人們分享的許多評論正在助長火焰，但是，我感到有更大的責任感，需要認真研究我寫的內容，并很快成為朋友。叫我幫助我變得更好的人。

“See people that correct your mistakes as those that want you to be the best you can be and befriend them!”

“看到那些糾正錯誤的人，就像那些希望你做到最好的人并成為他們的朋友！”

Work Ethic

職業道德

If you truly want to succeed in a role in the workplace you’d need to willing put in the time, effort, and elbow grease required to achieve your goals. Starting (and maintaining) your own data science blog is not a prerequisite, in fact, you don’t have to. However, if you decide to you are not only expressing your work ethic to everyone around you, you also develop your own work ethic. Some people do this as a result of wanting to reach monetary targets with their blogs, some from social goals (i.e. having 3k followers), and others from ensuring they remain disciplined (i.e. ensuring to post 3 times a week). Whatever the reason, you develop your grit and that is a life skill to hold dear.

如果您真的想在工作場所中扮演成功的角色，則需要愿意花費時間，精力和肘部潤滑脂來實現自己的目標。 啟動(和維護)你自己的數據科學博客是不是一個先決條件，其實，你也不必 。 但是，如果您決定不只是向周圍的每個人表達自己的職業道德，那么您還將發展自己的職業道德。 有些人這樣做的原因是希望通過其博客達到貨幣目標，有些人來自社會目標(即擁有3000個關注者)，而其他人則是通過確保自己受到紀律處分(即確保每周發布3次)。 不管是什么原因，您都會發展出勇氣，這是一種珍貴的生活技能。

商機 (Opportunities)

With your Data Science blog, you are essentially marketing yourself, and good marketing will attract willing customers. In other words, if you do a good job of portraying the skills and qualities that you have, people will take note and approach you regarding these things. Beware that this is not exclusive to job offers, but it could be something significant that leads you meeting someone with a job offer or meeting someone that you go on to form a start up with, such as making you a guest speaker on a podcast where you discuss a blog post you’ve made or to write for a publisher — Who knows?

通過您的數據科學博客，您實質上是在營銷自己，良好的營銷將吸引有意愿的客戶。 換句話說，如果您很好地描述了您所擁有的技能和素質，那么人們會注意到并就這些事情與您聯系。 請注意，這并不是工作機會所獨有的，但是它可能會導致您與某人見面并提供工作機會或與您繼續創業的人見面，例如讓您在播客上擔任演講嘉賓，您討論您撰寫的博客文章或為發布者撰寫的博客文章-誰知道？

“Do things that increase your chances of achieving success”

“做一些增加成功機會的事情”

結語 (Wrap Up)

There are many more reasons that I could of added as to why you should have a Data Science blog , but I am hoping that these 3 reasons were enough to persuade you to start. In general, I believe the overall purpose of having a blog should be to learn new exciting things which you then go on to teach. However, considering the upside of blogging can serve as an effective motivation tool to aid you in tackling the gritty work that is required for blogging.

關于您為什么應該擁有一個Data Science博客，我還有很多理由可以補充，但是我希望這三個理由足以說服您開始。 總的來說，我認為擁有博客的總體目的應該是學習新的令人興奮的東西，然后繼續教書。 但是，考慮博客的優勢可以作為一種有效的激勵工具，以幫助您解決博客所需的艱苦工作。
