By writing things up I heard from others and learnt things. It also acted as a sort of diary and I can look back on things I did and when. It was good writing practice as well.
I slowed down blogging because I would sometimes write stuff that was kind of clickbait and it wasn’t really me. I was getting excited by the visitor count etc. I stopped doing that and removed analytics.
Now I blog occasionally about little projects. The interaction of “here’s a thing I did” and “someone asking or suggesting x” was healthy for me. But if I wrote something that was an opinion all the disagreement and nastiness was unhealthy.
