The next step in the process is to package up a bunch of blog posts, and call it an ebook! A lot of people are scared of writing something so "big" - but if you think of an ebook as just 10 or so blog posts, then it becomes a lot more manageable :)

Have you thought of writing an ebook about data engineering? I'm always curious what people think about that suggestion when I give it :)

I know that if I learn it and don’t use it, I will forget everything, so I use the blog also as a way to store notes and easily recall the things I used to know.

This is the very reason I started blogging last year. Now, most of the time, I visit my blog instead of searching for stuff on Google.

That's brilliant. I've recently started trying to blog more and share my knowledge too after years of meaning to but never having the time. It's great to know that it is a positive thing to do.
