Do something, BRAG ABOUT IT
Find people that share your interests
Computers exist to connect humans, your writings exist to help people find you.
Advertise your awesome!
Share your knowledge to benefit others
Everyone knows something I don’t know, that will benefit me once I know it.
I can find some of those things in your writing.
Give yourself jumping off points for the next cool thing
When I write about my nifty projects, I include things I did not try but could be interesting.
Many of my later fun projects come from me re-reading those “this might work?” points and deciding to try it.
Legacy
Hamming says roughly “You will be most remembered from your expository works”.
That is, the world will remember you by how you communicated with other humans.
Expose the awesome things!
New to you, your local scope is the world that matters
Write up something new to you or your group of people. Understanding flows unevenly, your explanation could be the thing that helps someone have that spark of realization.
Start with imperfection, just DO THE THING
This blog post reads like a pale shadow of what’s in my head, but it’s here for you to read.
I’m publishing it so you gain something from what I’ve written. Maybe I’ll write something that communicates more effectively after I’ve had time to think about this one?
