Thanks so much for this, I found the tips & all the additional resources super helpful! One thing I learned while writing and I try to improve on is writing inclusively. You never know who reads your article and what their background is - and I think it's important that nobody feel belittled or excluded.

Thanks for your kind words.

Agree, I try to remember that we are all different and avoid at all costs title like 5 reasons why EVERY PROGRAMMER should have a BLOG! because it's so wrong to be prescritiptive like this:

I dislike not the content but the title, which deny that we all have different lives.

You can be a developer, mother of two small twins, therefore have no time for blogging outside of your job, therefore your title is false.

I use to recommend people use blogging but your opnion is really appreciable. It's true that we can't get time for everything in a short day of life.

And hope you won't mind it, that a stranger commented on your posts. I am new to these platforms, and I am afraid if people like strangers comments or not.
