It seems to me that successful blog post requires either having expert knowledge of a specific domain, or an interesting take on a trending topic. It's hard for many (including myself) to break through the barrier of self-doubt if neither of those cases are obviously true.
Blogging for personal reasons is still a good option (as many would say), but why spend limited time on writing a blog post when you could be working on a side project instead?
- lloyd-christmas 11y agoPersonally, I like blogs where people are about 85% sure they know what they are doing. It tends to spawn better conversation (as long as the comments section ends up minimally moderated). "This is how you do [insert complex concept here]" is a lot less interesting than "This is how I fucked up trying to do [insert complex concept here]". Obviously though, it does take time from the side project. I write notes to myself constantly. For me, setting up the blog seems more time consuming than taking some time to edit my notes into something coherent.
