No jobs (one company actually asked me to stop writing if I joined), but definitely a lot of learning and feedback (although of late I've had more feedback via social networks than mail, because I turned off comments a decade ago and never looked back). I use my blog as a personal wiki and notebook, and have well over 20 years of content in there (check out this page link graph: https://taoofmac.com/static/graph https://taoofmac.com/static/graph), so I invariably end up posting stuff that is useful to me as reference, and that kind of feedback loop definitely helps with learning (or at least keeping track of) things.
