Write to advance your career, but not for the reasons or how you might think. You’re not going to be a tech celebrity. You’re probably barely gonna get noticed.

Write to advance your career, but not for the reasons or how you might think. You’re not going to be a tech celebrity. You’re probably barely gonna get noticed. But you can get noticed by the people in your immediate orbit. Need to communicate an idea to a colleague? Write a blog article instead of an email. This helps you in a couple of ways: It polishes your English. It polishes your thinking, and ensures you filled in the gaps in your thinking. It creates a (more) durable asset than email/slack. It impresses your colleagues and boss who may begin to perceive you as more valuable for having a public presence.
