I document technical things on my blog and hardly anyone reads it. But later on when I need that thing again, I just go there and I have the perfect documentation available for the topic (it's perfect since I wrote it hahaha).

Your intention is still to pass on the knowledge though regardless of traffic otherwise why even publish if it’s just for you? What is the difference from the Documents dir at that point?
Theoretically the internet would have enabled the long tail, making tiny domain focused niches viable. In practice discovery is the most gamed algorithm in existence. Unless you have the resources and inclination to spend quality time towards useless "SEO" nobody knows you are alive.

At first, I wasn't sure what to make of it. But reading the source, my blog post reminded me of some ideas I had consciously forgotten. The Deep Research report gathered some of those idea and repurposed it in an interesting way. So writing a blog is now a way to resurface ideas you might have forgotten yourself back to you, a kind of "memories" or "timehop" feature.

People occasionally stumble on it and find value.

I can’t access my computer’s Documents directory on my phone when I’m away from home.
It's also fun to go back a year later to see how stupid/naive/ignorant I was 'back then'.

All kidding aside, it's something great to point at something when applying for a job. I'll just say this as a person looking at a candidate: I'm probably not gonna look at your Github. Especially if it's filled with simple tutorials from a book or from YouTube that a bunch of other people have followed.
Extra points if I read it and applied the knowledge. This did happen one time. I was stoked.
I'm more likely to look at stuff like a blog post if I really want to gauge your expertise on a subject and see your attention to detail.
