Many of the reasons why I blog are for my own benefit, but it is also fun if people read what I write, so it is a mix really. My reasons in roughly order of importance:
- Knowing what I think
- Sharing knowledge
- Venting
- To learn (when I get comments on my views)
- To remember better, e.g. for books I've read
- To have an archive to refer people to
- For the thrill of having people read what I write
- For self promotion
I wrote about it in more detail here: https://henrikwarne.com/2017/11/26/6-years-of-thoughts-on-programming/ https://henrikwarne.com/2017/11/26/6-years-of-thoughts-on-pr...

I just worry sometimes that some of my rants go against the dogmas of the mainstream liberal orthodoxy, and if someone did chance upon my blog, they might get upset — and oh, I don't know, fire/not hire me.
