If your goal is to write, the worst thing you can do as an engineer is to try and write your own blog engine, or fiddle around with some custom settings.

Fight that urge. The thing to tackle is to figure out the habit of writing first. And you can only do that by writing consistently. If you have nothing insightful to write, write about something you took a couple hours to figure out in a TIL.

I stopped blogging because of this. I migrated my blog to my own stack in my mid-20s and every time I wanted to write, I would have to fix something or implement some feature. I ended up not writing.

I wish I just used Wordpress or something that let me click and drag images into it and move on.

Preach it. I had a pretty comfortable Markdown-to-Hugo-to-rsync pipeline set up. Know what’s even easier? Paying for a micro.blog account to glue all that stuff together for me, and using their perfectly fine app to publish and edit on the go.
