> e.g. Quit dicking around with your SSG and write the damn blog post already. The hard part of writing something worth reading is not your tech stack.

Alternately, for many, there's more value to themself and everyone else if they grind on those technical skills rather than distract themselves with a hobby they seem inclined to put off.

If you really want to write, you'll write. If you really want to hack, you'll hack.

A lot of people think they should write, but actually just want to hack. And that's not a problem! The image of writing provides some orientation to the hacking, but it's the hacking itself that can be most fun and enriching for them.

Do the hacking, and if you never get around to the writing, don't sweat it. If you're honest with yourself: it was never really about that, was it?
