Good questions!

I have a working title of "Finding the Most Popular Item in a Has_Many, Through Relationship" but I am not sold on it. Will it add value? For me, yes. I learned a lot more about what was happening in my code while writing this post. Will someone else find it useful? I hope so, but it's hard to say for sure.

I spent 6+ hrs on and off writing it yesterday. I want to get faster/better at this.

It's alright, I started out with just setting aside time for myself to write and you get faster after multiple times.

I started out with just high-quality articles that take about 3 - 4 hrs.

My best advice is to focus on documenting with another person in mind and consistency is key by sending yourself a deadline or number of articles to write per week.

I usually use Grammarly to help me to edit my articles.

The other way is signing up for courses like Simple Programmer's blogging course which I went through it twice to get better in my fundamentals.
