I don't blog, but writing in general has helped me immensely. A lot of people think writing is grammar and spelling. Try writing to evoke a reaction from other people, e.g., strangers, loved ones, friends. For example, try to write something that will make a stranger laugh. I think you will find that is substantially harder than explaining how a compiler works. Writing effectively is communicating effectively. And as time goes on it seems more and more things are being written rather than spoken.

> And as time goes on it seems more and more things are being written rather than spoken. Agreed! Writing scales (write one, can be read by many dispersed in place and time), it is searchable (far more easily than audio), there's no accent barrier, has a high knowledge per byte ratio. Love the description of 'evoking a reaction'.
