I mostly agree with a recent Big Think article [0] (HN discussion [1]) I also tell people "don't blog" [2] ...for the wrong reasons Do blog for the right reasons [3] - if you find it too tedious to write-up your notes into a format you and others can reference later with all the "whys" and not merely the "whats", then don't do it ... but I'd wager you'd benefit from doing it :) As I commented here [4] recently, "I presume no one reads what I write - but attempt to write as if it's being read by millions" I can not tell you how many times I've been able to refer to something I wrote (technical or otherwise) that's helped at least myself again, if not myriad others Also - your public-facing blog may easily be accessible even if your "notes" aren't :) ----------- [0] https://bigthink.com/the-learning-curve/personal-brand-trap/ https://bigthink.com/the-learning-curve/personal-brand-trap/ [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32138311 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32138311 [2] https://antipaucity.com/2014/04/11/dont-blog/ https://antipaucity.com/2014/04/11/dont-blog/ [3] https://antipaucity.com/2012/11/05/why-blog/ https://antipaucity.com/2012/11/05/why-blog/ [4] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31947806 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31947806
