100%. I didn't mean this to be a "woe is me" piece, despite the clickbait-y title. I just wanted to talk about the merits of publishing your writing without any actual readers. And some lessons on writing I've picked up.
I do it. I write[0], because it helps me to understand stuff better (tutorials), or because I work on "gut instinct," a lot, and writing it in a manner that explains it, forces me to "formalize" things.
My stuff is too TL;DR, for most folks, these days.
yea, I'm not saying there's no place for that phrase ever. But overusing it was a bad habit of mine and it ends up being unnecessary filler. My wording there was a bit exaggerated.
this. They don't even do an exact string match of the artist name, the reason why I can't fathom. I could make a new artist account named "drake" (lowercase d) today and probably show up in a million Release Radar playlists by next week.
it's a reference point? The article isn't comparing to some platonic ideal of what men's testosterone levels should be...it's just pointing out a statistically significant decrease in those levels over a period of 20 years
I write about...books. I don't think there's much point to reading it unless you've already read the book I'm talking about.
I mostly do it because I found I use to read books and then never talk about them or think about them afterwards so I would just forget about the book after a little while. I figured that writing something down about the book would help clarify my thoughts on it and I could remember it better.
I also wanted to build something with spring boot and kotlin so this was it.
Is there anywhere on your site where I can see a complete list of your reviews in one place? I like your essays, I occasionally do the same thing and I think it has made me a more attentive reader.
