Abstract
Writing down what you learn and think is a powerful tool and sharing them with others can have a big impact in your life. I’ve been blogging about technology on and off since 2013 and more consistently since 2018.
In this talk I share what I’ve learned by blogging as a developer and hope to inspire you to pick up your proverbial pen and start writing.
