I've also been wondering about this question. It feels like society is increasingly valuing thinking in public, which hasn't really been my style. I've always preferred to think, debate and learn in smaller, almost always private chat groups and forums — yet I suspect this might end up hurting my career.

I don't think it's much a matter of society valuing rather than simple exposure and networking.

If I blog about say, Clojure, and my articles are read by people in the Clojure community, it's likely that over time I may receive some emails about my availability for a Clojure role.
