• You might feel like you have nothing to say because you're not an expert.
  
  Just help someone a few steps behind.
  
  What do you wish you knew a little while ago? Share that.

Notes

• Why people don’t do it

  • I’m not an expert
    • You don’t have to be one
    • You will be helping someone at Level 0 to come to Level 1
    • Triangle - a lot of the people are beginners (at the base)
  • Someone already wrote about it
    • Think about journalists - do you really think one does not cover news because another fellow already thought about it?
  • Why write the same thing
    • What about your view on that topic?
    • What if all others are difficult to understand and you nail it for a beginner?

• Why you should actually do it?

  • Help others

  • When you try to explain something, you learn it better.

  • If someone looks at your blog, they know you are familiar with things

  • I’m not asking you to write only tech, write anything

    It is a blog, sure, but it is also a wiki. It’s a spot where I can post ideas, snippets, resources, thoughts, collections, and other bits and pieces that I find interesting and useful. Instead of always being a “performance” level of blogging, it can be a looser more human endeavor that drops the idea of robots sorting the content (in this case simply by date created) and embraces the idea of curation, by me, for you.

    • Write how you wish things should be
    • If you like a course that you took recently, write why.
    • If you are building something, journal the progress
    • Consider your blog as a digital garden
