How do you learn in 2025?
Not long ago, books/video tapes were the only way to learn. Then video entered the picture: courses, tutorials, and lectures made knowledge more accessible than ever.
Now? The internet is overflowing with millions of courses, books, and resources on every imaginable topic.
So the real question is:
How do you learn in 2025?
Here’s my personal mix:
1/ Twitter /X+ hands-on testing: I find interesting ideas, frameworks, and tools on X, then try them immediately.
2/ YouTube + online courses: Great for visual explanations and step-by-step breakdowns.
3/ Books for fundamentals: When I want deep, timeless knowledge, I still go back to books. They give me the context and grounding short-form content can’t.
Your turn. What’s your go-to learning stack this year?👇

I think it really depends on the type of content you want to learn...
I'm not Gen Z, for example, but I really enjoy following some influencers on TikTok to learn more about fashion, politics, and general knowledge, for example.
If I want to learn something in my professional field, I end up following the same idea, especially lectures that are available online. I also spend most of my time reading newsletters and watching videos of lectures by people who inspire me.
@ari_gomes Can you mention some of the newsletters here?
I've been putting away the podcasts in the gym and talking with ChatGPT instead. Turn it on voice mode while on the treadmill - ask it about something you're interested in.... "Atlantis, obviously the Eye of the Sahara right ChatGPT?"
Or more practically, what are you working on? Give it the persona of your (potential) users and start to explore the use cases, the competition, the tech stack, etc.
@ben_mulch love your approach!
