Question for you: How does one get ideas for articles?

Great question Binyamin! Here are a few points regarding the same:

  1. Ask yourself. What do you want to share with the world? Any tip? A tutorial? A new tech stack you learned? Some cons or pros of a language? There can be thousands of such ideas at your disposal once you start asking yourself!

  2. Interact with others. The more you communicate (both online/offline), the more knowledge you gain and the more ideas your brain creates!

  3. Hop into trends! Google has it's own Trends website, pick a topic and share the knowledge.

  4. Join communities. This helps in getting more buzzwords and tech words/skills which you may want to discover and then write about it.

  5. Follow Aleksandr's points!

  1. Monitoring StackOverflow and tech sites regularly, including Medium, Dev.to, Hacker News, CSS Tricks, and other sources.

  2. When you solve a problem that you were running into frequently, and you realize that few people, if any, have actually shared that solution with others.

I'm sure there are more ways than just these two, though.
