I started writing my blog as a devlog for myself refer to later, and didn't expect anyone else to care. However, it eventually let to a job interview that in turn led to my current job.

The team I joined worked on a Ruby codebase, and there were people with background in other languages, where method visibility worked differently. A short post I wrote [1] was being shared around in the team, and the manager decided to interview me.

Funnily enough, that same post was quoted to me by a colleague during a code review a few months later! So it turned out that it's still working as intended - as a reference for myself. :)
