I have to publish the stuff that I think no one will care about because I’m probably wrong.

It helps to think that if you mean well and you're trying your best, you're likely to post something that at least one person will find valuable.

The number of times I've written something up, had hesitations, and then published it anyway where someone follows up saying "this is just what I was looking for" or "I needed to hear this" are enumerable.

I suspect this very post is one of those.

And when the topic is at all related to solving a problem, you never know when you're someone's DenverCoder9 (but with the answer).

Exactly! I also think about it like I'm the 1 person that will find it valuable. Often I write something up for future me, because I'll totally forget whatever I learned just now.
