The best inspiration comes from the development work you are doing for work or a hobby project.

When you start something new or run in to an issue doing something create an article.

Detail what you are doing and what documentation your are following. Outline the steps, pitfalls/potential pitfalls and how to overcome them.

Almost everything we do whether something new or doing something new detailing the steps and providing tips to complete it or improve it is going to help someone coming down the same path after you.

So take inspiration from your own work.

If you use a framework or language that's a good topic to dump all the knowledge you come across for others following in your footsteps.

Every topic has been written about, but there is always new versions of everything so detailing the steps again and including anything missing from the docs will be helpful to people.

Previously I had a blog where I wrote about any issues I ran across while developing, or anything that required a decent amount of research to solve. I would regularly reference it, and other people found it useful (based on the traffic I received).

Why did you stop?

It was a wordpress website that I ran 5-10 years ago, and I just got tired of maintaining it. I've been looking at spinning up something similar using Jekyll and github pages.

I went through a similar transition. There is much less friction editing a quick post in markdown with Jekyll than with the heavy wordpress UI, much happier with that setup.
