Wanna be starting something
I hate writing, I suck at writing, I will procrastinate writing stuff as much as I can (and even way beyond that). I’m even writing this post instead of writing some paper for school (something about conflict management if you really want to know).
So why start a blog probably nobody will read and add to the endless noise ?
Well, you might call it mid-year resolution, but I decided to confront my writing daemons as Jeff Atwood suggests and maybe in the process suck less at writing, and today I’ve got additional support after reading Steve Yegge’s (my new favorite blogger) post about why you should start a blog.
Working in the software industry for quite some time (and still loving it), I find most programming blogs, books, forums, references and most form of documentation totally lacking one major aspect: explaining why make certain choices, talking about trade offs, and giving good end to end examples that don’t revolve around: cars, music instruments or pets. So I thought it’ll be a good place for a mind dump about programming decisions I face every day. As Yegge says, writing about something help clarifying it to yourself, and maybe other people can help clarify it even further.
