Generally, I don't blog for other people.
I blog because I'm forgetful AF and want a record of how I solved problems in the past to refer to later.
If other people get someone out of it too, that's gravy.
- aksss 4y agoSame, I blog as a record of stuff I’m researching because writing about it helps me organize thoughts and remember. I won’t remember for long though, so it works as a record for me as well. I think the stuff I research is really fascinating, though niche, and assume a few other people out there would be interested too. None of my local friends are as interested, so the global reach helps me chat about it with others. Finally, I also like the ethos of creating the kind of content you want to see on the Internet, so doing my little part.
- Mtinie 4y agoGiving you the benefit of the doubt…how does your comment relate to the linked essay?
- shadowgovt 4y agoOnly by title. Everyone else has covered the meat of the essay content.
- kuhewa 4y agoThat could be the case for the author of the blog in question, and it would still be legitimate to take issue with someone passing off the work as their own.
- boyter 4y agoAs do I. However as with any code I published I would be fairly annoyed were someone to lift it and present it as their own without either first contacting me (which is trivial) or citing me. I have found a lot of references to things I have done on google scholar et al and I am flattered to have been included. I don’t understand why anyone would risk being caught out like this. Citing is trivial and indicates you have done research and then built on someone else’s work.
