I used to blog quite regularly about a decade ago - but somewhere during my final year of uni I became insanely busy plus lost motivation. and it watered down with just a few occasional blogpost inbetween either for myself of guest blogposts for companies.
Since about half a year ago I blog semi-regularly on Medium. I know a lot of people on here don't like Medium links - although I had a few on the frontpage which was motivating.
To answer your questions:
1) I don't have a concrete one - I stumble something that peeks my interest, I try to understand the topic and then write down my thoughts on medium. Most of it is about Go.
2) I started in high school thinking my blogposts might help someone. I followed a lot of blogs myself and just liked the idea. It wasn't hard to start - as a teenager you always think you know everything so you're pretty careless. That didn't stay. :P
3) Honestly - I have no good answer to this because I regularly lose motivation. What I will say though - for all the dislike towards medium - seeing my stats does make me want to write more. A few of my blogposts are spontaniously shared on reddit / twitter, and are the first search result in google. So it generates daily traffic. I enjoy the idea that I'm actually helping people find an answer.
