I'm curious about where influencers, especially those who are skilled in their fields, get their real-life experience from. Take, for instance, a popular developer who is creating an AI course. He's already proficient in Typescript, but I wonder how he acquires the knowledge and experience to effectively teach topics like AI system design. I didn't mention a specific name to keep this neutral.

A lot of these influencers gain their skills by building projects and learning through trial and error. That’s often the most effective way to understand new concepts. Plus, teaching others helps them reinforce their own knowledge.
It’s likely that they worked for bigger companies, so they had the chance to learn straight from real projects. Most of them are also self-taught, which says a lot about their dedication to continuous learning.
True, but I wonder how they find the content to teach. It's probably a mix of documentation and connecting with others in the field.
