My main detriments to publishing on the web continue to be:
The less obvious and not already widely covered stuff is very situation dependent. i.e. Most advice I could share is incredibly nuanced and some of it may flip 180 degrees, depending on the particular context of the person looking for advice or help. — And I don’t necessarily pre-think all possible situations - which is also a big human problem, when making software or laws and everything in between.
The “right” advice changes over time, because everything from technology to human value systems evolve ever more quickly. So today’s wisdom may end up tomorrow’s deadly sin. And when the Internet doesn’t forget, a well meaning post today may become a big mortgage on the future.
