Thanks for being so kind. It indeed takes a lot of time and energy, but it is incredibly rewarding when you finally share it with the world and people find value in it (far more than I expected)
There are numerous times when I encountered a hurdle trying to fix something or set something up and was lucky enough to find a blog of someone else who encountered the very same hurdle and managed to solve it.
Without the efforts of these people I would have continued to waste time trying to figure something that was important to me at the time, but out of my knowledge sphere.
In a way you are giving people life when you share your knowledge.
On a more serious note, this is one of the main points that drove me to start such a blog. I've been the one learning from other people's posts for a long time. Now that I've reached a point where I can give back to the community, I'm really proud of the positive feedback I've got.
Moreover, while writing this took some time, I actually enjoyed going back over what I did and putting it in a way that I can share with the world. I can't stop thinking of ideas for future articles
Thanks for putting in the time to write this up. As someone who is writing a lot of procedural instructions for colleagues I can appreciate the time and effort it takes to write something down using full sentences, structure and flow.
