I'm always a little bit warry of "developper marketing" like blog and conferences, because when you do that you're not developping, and this shows skills that are quite different than the ones required for software development. Marketing is all about mass media one way communication (broadcast), development is at most two way personal communication.
- tomblomfield 13y agoI think blogging is actually much more a 2-way communication than traditional broadcast media. See this discussion as an example. If you sit in your office writing fantastic software without telling anyone about it, you're destined for a pretty lonely future.
- nraynaud 13y agoParticipation on the internet is around 1%(edits on wikipedia), that's way more than tradionnal media, and 1% of a one to one conversation. Blogging is still putting on a suit, climbing on a soapbox, reading an edited speech and answering publicly to remarks (ie taking stances, playing roles).
