Justification

myBrain is a personalized, self-directed guide I developed to support my professional growth, foster continuous learning, and enhance my ability to lead a well-rounded life.

This was created in an effort to combat the privatization of learning and knowledge. I wanted people to stop selling me courses, certifications, etc. I wanted simple direction, tools, and the knowledge I sought.

I was disheartened and confused that resources were difficult to understand, redundant, contradictory, locked behind an insane paywall, or overburdened with nonsense.

I decided then and there that my knowledge should be shared and free for anyone to read. Not only this, but it should be simple and to the point.

This website solves several problems I had with university, courses, and certifications:

1. I can integrate linear resources into one non-linear web and form insights I otherwise never would have.
2. I can use clearer language and teach myself in a way that I wish I'd been taught, which makes reviewing what I learned easier.
3. I can update my notes as-needed, and they would get better over time. While most resources are static, myBrain is a dynamic "living document."
