I first started technical blogging when I was enrolled in Flatiron School's software engineering bootcamp, which I started in April 2018. One of their requirements is to write at least 5 technical blog posts over the course of the program. It didn't take long for me to realize I really loved it and it helped me strengthen my knowledge of topics. I ended up writing way more than just 5 posts by the time I graduated.
I didn't discover DEV until right before graduation and didn't start consistently posting here until about March/April 2019.
I haven't monetized my blog, because I prefer to keep writing a hobby without that extra stressor.
How long have you been doing tech writing and are you finding a profitable side-hustle? Or is it your main job?
Congrats on the 10k followers btw!! Awesome milestone!
Thank you!!
