It’s mostly been useful to capture big things I worked on - the exercise of distilling what I did into words really helps make it concrete in my brain. Helps a lot when talking about experience at job interviews for instance.
Honestly I’d love to blog more but reality is it is a massive time sink. Writing is hard, writing technical things in a clear and concise way is extra hard. I’m not sure how the regulars manage it! A single post can take me 10-20 hours. I’d have to sacrifice something else in my life to really spend the time I need on it.
