> Software engineering must be one of the few professions where individuals freely share their energy and expertise with others.

Many others in creative pursuits do the same, including advice, articles, mentorship, tutorials, videos, screencasts, and many other things: artists, musicians, writers, non-software engineers, cinematographers, carpenters, and others.

I was going to say you can use YouTube to learn anything including plumbing from plumbers. My plumber recommended it. It's how he got his start. According to him, when he started plumbing years ago, he lied about his experience and used Youtube at worksites to learn on the job.

Maybe that's the link? Teaching, writing about and sharing resources on a creative pursuit is itself quite a creative endeavour.

Or to put it another way, if you like the process of taxonomy and description that goes into programming, you might well enjoy the process of taxonomy and description that goes into teaching it too.
