Some blogging myths

Some blogging myths:

myth: everyone should blog
I sometimes see advice to the effect of “blogging is great! public speaking is great! everyone should do it! build your Personal Brand!“.

Blogging isn’t for everyone. Tons of amazing developers don’t have blogs or personal websites at all. I write because it’s fun for me and it helps me organize my thoughts.

Overall the thoughts here on blogging are great, and apply to how you share your thoughts across the board… If people want to share stuff, it should be in a place where you own your thoughts, and can control what you produce… A blog, ActivityPub/Fediverse/Mastodon, etc.
