I doubt that. If I had to guess, you're worried about what people will think about what you write, like 99% of the people thinking about writing anything, myself included.
- tombert 3y agoI mean, I don't know; I could never get into Twitter/Mastodon really, and that's considerably less effort than even writing a blog. I never really saw the point of me publicly stating an opinion shared by the majority of people. I guess I post a lot on HN and I don't always have hot takes here, but generally I just feel like if my opinion is "basically the same as everyone else", then there's really not much for me to say about stuff. Also, I really don't think the internet needs another politics blog, so I'd have to limit it to Computer Science or Math or something; things that I actually have an earned opinion on. Occasionally I'll have a "hot take" about software or something, but generally I don't think that they warrant an entire post, which is why I initially thought Twitter might be a good fit. I am afraid that I really am not that unique, and I think I'm pretty much ok with that. That said, it might be good to have a website as a testing ground for research papers. A blog post could be a "public beta" or something for a paper I'm writing. Maybe I should actually do something with tombert.com again.
