I've tried to create a tech blog for a long time. But because I'm quite OCD about my writing, it took ages to create a post. In the end, writing became such a chore that I stopped altogether.
The problem will be a useful differentiator to other tech blogs.
True, but at what cost?
It may be true that if you write about something, you will understand it better. Sounds logical, you spend more time with a topic, likely it won't confuse you or make you forget it. But is it also true, that this is efficient? Maybe if you don't write about it, instead just reread it, you can understand it even better, in less time?
I did this series[0], as I was learning Swift. It helped a lot.
Yes. And then share with the world, and who cares if anyone pays attention.
It's a paradox. I'd rather no one reads my ramblings, but then why am I writing them? Somehow I feel it is a shame that most of my inane ideas only exist in my head. The freeing approach is just to write, know you're a terrible writer, and persevere. I guess that's how you become good, eventually, or maybe you get a following of other idiots that agree with your dumb thoughts :-)
Writing is fine, but publishing is another story. Makes me think of Eisenhower's "plans are useless, but planning is indispensable". Write, but then throw away your shit. IMO and I'm sorry to say it so bluntly, but articles like this are just adding to the already omnipresent noise. I am constantly blasted with tidbits, noobs' their "tutorials" and summaries of summaries. I'm a louzy writer myself. So it's not like I…

I disagree. Without the pressure and scrutiny of publishing, you won't scrutinize your own ideas. Others won't scrutinize your ideas and give you feedback.

Looking through my analytics, things that gets clicks are never what I expected them to be. They're never what I think is the coolest or what I consider to be the best written. They're just random shit I put out there just for the sake of updating my website.
