Nice blog post! Always told myself as an aspiring developer I should blog what I'm learning about, but just never got around to do it or many times I just thought this blogging thing really isn't for me.

Gonna use this post as inspiration :D

I know the feeling, especially when you think you aren't good enough. But no one ever is! Ever heard of impostor syndrome? It's very real.

Write out your adventure. You will learn a lot about yourself and can see growth along the way.

Dev.To makes it ridiculously easy how to blog real quick. I love this platform. Feel free to DM if I can be of any assistance.

Yes! I continue to learn as well.

Ty for confirming that all it takes is execution. All starts with that first step. Who know maybe someone reading this will be the next person to write the 2yrs, 9k posts, 7m views.

Congrats on all that hard work. But most importantly the time you invested! /bow

Good question. I'd provide an updated version of the post and leave the original post as is.

This saves you time from updating old posts letting you focus on your new ones. Also, you and others can see your growth. Most important, you have more content on your blog.

I agree with you. The only thing that can stop you is yourself. Overthinking is an obstacle.

This is typical of a software developer (aka over engineering). We solve so many hard problems that we forget how to solve simple ones.

I still struggle with this after all these years of blogging. It gets better. Promise.

Awesome blog post.. I recently found out Cunningham's Law (yesterday) and that alongside is changing my approach to blogging. Thanks

I've heard of this before. But a good strategy. I've seen plenty of blog posts where the meat is in the content ( hopefully author updates content and gives credit ).

Good luck on your blogging adventure!
