My first article was about my own big failure.
I wanted to share the experience so others could learn from it.

Now, I'm using writing/filming as a way to organize my own thoughts also help others by doing so.

I've actually even gone so far to start a Youtube channel called developerHabits - all with the goal to share my experiences and learn from others'.

I believe teaching is the best way to learn. And that's what motivates me to keep going.

// almost forgot. By sharing your ideas, you also initiate discussions where you get to see others' perspective.

That's my one of my biggest motivations.

I also write for my future self. I find that I reference my blog posts a lot and that's the more reason to write better content. Because I might need that knowledge in future.

"I also write for my future self.". This is a nice way to think about things. I wish that sometimes in the future I can look at my struggles and be proud of how far I've come. Thank you for your input.

I agree with everything you said. When I write I never assume that my way of doing things is the only or the best way and it's always exciting when I see people trying to come up with different solutions. Thank you for your input :)!
