1. Helped me get thoughts out of my head that are churning too much 2. Help me organize thoughts as I try to write them in a way that's helpful for other people 3. Allowed me to drop links into a chat with someone asking questions I've been asked before 4. Functioned as a memory bank when I forget how to do something I've done before 5. Functions as a scrapbook for when I want to reflect on a trip or something I don't have a cool story about being hired or whatever like other people. I think around 2000 people navigate to the blog a year, mostly to a post going into a great amount of detail about my emacs blog post. The follow up most visited is a post I made about buying a Grand Seiko which is quite bereft so I have no idea why it's so popular, I have way better posts lol. Kind of feeds my theory that a good way to get people reading / watching is to get a niche and stick in there. Possibly the Grand Seiko post gets so much volume because Grand Seiko's marketing is stupidly bad and seems to be completely dependant on content creators. So making content about them would fill somewhat of a vacuum.
