It's almost impossible for me, unfortunately.
When I set out to describe something, I quickly discover how little I know about the thing. I then proceed to learn the missing bits. The time flows and when I finally feel I know enough the original problems seems too trivial to warrant a write-up... Or the post becomes many tens of thousands of words long behemoths that no one wants to read :(
- Brakenshire 10y agoI'd say most of the reading and writing of blog posts are in the "long tail" of people attempting to solve a niche problem in a technology they don't know intimately. Of course most of those are trivial if you already know enough to solve it, but that doesn't mean they're not useful. Extra points for including the conceptual explanation of why it is in fact trivial rather than just the practicalities.
- donovanm 10y agoI would say write it up anyways even if it seems trivial. Things that seem trivial to you could still really help someone out. Especially someone new to the problem.
