oh wow. surprised to see this old piece here. it has certainly far outlasted my own expectations in terms of people quoting it and citing me on it on a weekly basis, even today. an updated chapter was rewritten for my book https://learninpublic.org/ https://learninpublic.org/ (which yes is a few years late in the promised V2... IT WILL HAPPEN)
questions welcome. it has continued to reap rewards for me and others who follow the practice long after publication (see: https://latent.space/ https://latent.space/, my current implementation), which is IMO the best validation I can have.
- vaporary 2y agoThanks! I'm a senior developer. Every now and then I'll debug something challenging and think about doing a nice write up about it -- but I don't have any existing online presence. I could throw a simple blog up on a website, but after posting an article there, I'm honestly not sure what to do next. Presumably at some point search engines will scrape it, but it likely won't have any meaningful search rank. I don't use social media. I could submit links to HN after I write each post, but that feels spammy and pretentious. Any thoughts on what to do with a blog post after writing it?
