I get asked frequently by fellow programmers why I started writing online and if they should do the same. Let me tell you one thing right from the ...

Hello!
I always wanted to be a writter, but I think there is enough people doing blogs with tutorials, and with what I start I think writting the basis of python or react is something that I think is a drop in the ocean, it is true that even a tutorial of the basics of python can help others.
I say this cause I don't have the background or do things like lets see which framework has a better performance my knowledge is not so deep with this topics, idk maybe I just want to write but at the same time I don't want to.
Thanks for the article you give something to think :D
Hey Jizavala,
I suggest you just write down what you learn and let others decide if it helps them or not. And don't let the fact that most of the stuff has already been written discourage you. That's no problem at all!
Thank you for your advice.
Agreed I also think that its good for learning and documentation. Like when you learn how to create something and then you write a guide which is both useful for you and other developers to follow. It makes you a more rounded developer in my opinion.
Yeah, you get the point :)
Writing also helps me get my ideas out and lets me know I haven't been doing nothing all year 😁
I love being able to look back and think, look at all I did! It's also nice when you completely forget you completed a project and are delighted to read the post again!
That's spot on, Abdisalan!
I'm starting out as a programmer and I had a feeling that I should start writing. Your post helps me provide better clarity. Thanks much..
Hey Sabarish, thanks for reading it and all the best on your journey!
Thanks Simon!
I agree with all your reasons! Beginners should absolutely read this.
Thank you, Swastik. Comments like yours are what keep me motivated even more to write for the community! 🙏
This is a great article. Recently I also have taken up the habit of putting out whatever I have learnt or developed, be it very simple or complex in the form of writing.
Thanks a lot, Sooraj, glad you like it!
Oh I didn’t know you can make that much with writing blogs. I started to write blogs just for devchallenges. Now I have more reasons 😄 Thanks for the article
Thanks and good luck with your future posts :)
