Jonas Lundberg:

In order to know that you are progressing you need some yardstick to measure against. The most common case is someone better and more experienced (having done the trip to mastery themselves) telling or showing you what you need to improve or if you are doing great. But what if there are no coaches or obvious roads to mastery?

From there Jonas goes on a deep-dive on why feedback loops are important and how you can acquire them for yourself. Oh, and if you need a feedback loop (and perhaps some cheer leading) on your writing, join the #blogging channel in our Community Slack. We have a small group forming.
