Potential / Kinetic energy is an interesting lens and I think that squares a lot with my thinking on reading books and the like on software development. Concepts I encounter and experience in my day-to-day life is this potential energy which I then convert to kinetic via writing or speaking.
And yes, both are heat - they flare up - get people's attention for a brief period, then die down. Each blog article is essentially a log on a fire, so I try to push out a few a week as my "normal" pace, scaling up and down depending on other commitments.
Most of them are brief benefits to myself and the reader, but a few of these logs catch people's eyes and send other opportunities my way, which inevitably leads to me researching new things and discovering MORE potential energy.
The end goal is more vague, but it's a beautiful fire to tend.
