I haven't amended many times. When I do, it is mainly to fix a mistake. One example I can think of was when I realized I left out a step in an example GitHub Actions workflow demonstrating how to use an Action I maintain. Most of the times when I edit, it is usually not long after posting it to begin with. Reading it again and realizing I said something poorly. Or discovering a typo. I try not to go back and read older ones or else I'll drive myself nuts fixing things. If an example becomes obsolete because something changed in a library, etc, I'd rather just write something new than to continually update the old (maybe the old version is still useful to someone).
