I've written a bunch of tech blog posts over the years over a bunch of different topics, with the main intent of being able to actually show employers that I'm able to produce rather than only talk about it. It's worked out for me, and through cycles, I get a few hundred views per day through search engines on all the different posts.

The one thing I will say is that there are stories out there like your co-worker's or some others here are those that write articles and strike it off super rich with new job opportunities or contract work. Plenty, the vast majority, don't make it that far. So before you start writing articles, make sure you want to do that because you like the topics and projects rather than only trying to put yourself out there.
