Both reasons you listed are pertinent. The section about career growth especially speaks to me.

Regarding statistics, you have more reach writing / creating content in English than in another language. You're more likely to be read by a decent-sized audience.
Many (most?) online platforms are English-centric. English is now the lingua franca like French was a few centuries ago.
But they are caveats:
It's insanely competitive. If you care about performance and stats, there's less competition in languages other than English.
Let's not forget that there's an audience for non-English content about computer science (or any other technical field). Billions of non-native English speakers have English shoved down their throats. And some of them don't like that, are not good at it, don't want to be or want to preserve their mother tongue.
Thank you for sharing, you make some great points I did not consider. +1 to using Grammarly and Hemmingway, I find them helpful as well.
I come from a country where everyone understands English well, even the older generations, so I did not take into consideration your point about that there's an audience for non-English content.
It's more competative yes, but writing doesn't have to be a competition -- it can be for fun. Some of my posts I write just for fun.
