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'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!
I think there are a lot of ways to consume data now. Youtube, AI, Newsletters, Podcasts, etc.
But learning is also about organizing resources, creating notes, coming back to the same resources.
I have built a Notion workflow to send a resource to my Notebook with the link and summary and any other additional resources.
I have started using Comet for this as Perplexity does a good job in searching for more resources. Comet does a good job in actually taking over Notion and adding the right information. I have found it better than using Notion MCP.
