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?
- I'm not an expert
-
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
