Publish Everything (Pretty Much)

Re: Publish Everything (Pretty Much)
#22Why publish at all? Who cares if something blows up and goes viral? Why should I spend any time publishing anything? Personally, I’d rather spend time doing something that enriches my life and/or the lives of people I care about.
For me, the most rewarding part is to help people. I love getting a random email saying “thanks” for a few sentences I jotted down that saved someone else time or money or made their life better somehow. My most valuable example actually came from a tiny web app I created. I got a email telling me that someone had lost 212 lbs and my app was part of their success.

In a world where so much is done online, one's reputation and job opportunities, too, might depend on what you can show for yourself online. No matter what business you are in, building an online presence is highly recommended. Creating content that goes viral can draw clients, get you a better offer from your current employer's competitor, or reveal other income streams that might allow you to leave a current job th…
This seems like a long shot and a very optimistic view of a public presence. It’s equally likely anything you put online will be used against you in the future.
I doubt the risks out weigh the minute possibility of a benefit.
You don’t need a public presence in code or writing to be a valuable person.

I agree with this ... unless publishing enriches your life and/or the lives of people you care about.
