Started writing on my blog again last week, it's such a good way to educate yourself. Doing more research than normal just to not sound stupid online 😅

When people are starting a blog I recommend they don’t measure readers or views Do it for you. If you get tied to metrics you’ll never enjoy doing it

Writing is such a valuable practice as well…doing it just for yourself is incredibly worthwhile (and yes I guess this is called journaling and has been around since before the internet but my point stands)

Many people in the twitch co-working scene do the same. They do it because it's good for them! No matter if they have hundreds, tens, or single-digit viewers

I was struck the other day by the dizzying realization that someone drinking coffee on a patio in Paris had just enjoyed my comment in real time. It’s a world mind!

I love the fact that I can go back through some of my old posts and think. But writing about something is such a useful activity, there’s a fair few things that I wouldn’t have discovered weren’t it for writing it down. Stats are vanity - though the rush of being on the orange site is nice ;-)

Haha orange site? As in HN?

Yup. ;-)

I have 357 blogs with 1 post each

A good take especially our work/world generally is already obsessed with optimising the hell out of things (usually for more money 🙄). It's nice to be able to do things for the joy of doing it!
