No
1) Noise. I have opinions about things but they are just adding more noise. The only place I write is here... and I know I shouldn't...
2) Blogging is writing about doing instead of doing (I think Jeff Atwood said that).
3) Bloggers will do anything for self-promotion and it makes me sick.
4) What a blogger writes just doesn't matter.
- archon 17y ago"What a blogger writes just doesn't matter" Actually, the fact that people take the time to write long, detailed posts about various programming topics matters a lot. At least it does to me, and I think I can pretty safely make the assumption that it matters to a few other newbie programmers too. Unlike technical documentation, which answers the "what?" and "how?" questions, I find that blog writers (the good ones) often answer the "why?" question implicit in the information I'm trying to find, in addition to the other two. This is invaluable when I'm trying to understand what's going on, or when I don't know what questions I should be asking.
