| Don't let this scare you. When I first started learning this stuff, I started a blog. I made maybe 3 posts before giving up on it, thinking about how much I didn't know, how that everything I could write about at the time was probably covered elsewhere and better, etc. Several years later I regret giving up. A lot of writing is writing for yourself. Obvious benefits to that, one of which is hopefully you get better at communication, which is huge in life in general, not just a career as a dev on a team. Another is learning through teaching or keeping a record. I've probably forgotten a bunch of things over the years that, had I written them in my blog I may remember, or at least know where to find the post instead of scouring the internet looking for another post by someone else that I used to helped me solve a problem. Potential employers may like seeing a blog as well. You can tell someone you're passionate about x, but where's the proof of that passion? It may not be the most in depth blog like Dr. Axel Rauschmeyer's, but it'll still show what you know. And you never know who's reading, so you may help someone in the process. The internet is already filled with "litter" or useless things. But if you're getting use out of it then that's the main point to focus on. |
