Agree that writing an article if that is a consideration is a good idea. I spent about a year publishing an an one or more times a week last year.

Using dev.to was motivating because activity gives you exposure.

It is hard to write articles as i code for a company and so my day code isn't fully accessible to publish. But learning how to extract ideas and techniques is still valuable.

Same situation here as well 😂

But yeah, I also planned on writing articles at least once a month, and tried to arrange the content on weekend (but I am bad because I love to create content on the fly, don't copy me 😖).

But I actually put the thing I learn in more sensible way for me to read, and I enjoy the process. The output is just "Okay, this is what I think". The process is the real "tea" that I enjoy.

It was all on the fly, though I would write several and built up a collection of drafts.
