Yes, for personal blogs it's much easier to write on Medium or Tumblr then running your own thing if only for the network effects but also the required costs (domain + hosting). Or if it's shorter posts/ideas use Twitter, maybe with screenshots of text in iOS notes for longer ideas. Unless there is a product I find there is no real reason to do what is needed which is hustling. I find hustling to push your own brand is weird. Most of us are developers. I myself am not trying to "become famous" or anything I just want to share my knowledge and experience the way others have before me. How do you hustle a product? "Growth hack", post on all channels, target your messages, build a newsletter, etc.
