How Fascinating! \(๏◡๏)/

Developer Blogs

Blog post Your words are wasted from Scott Hanselman’s blog on August 19, 2012.

Takeaways

  • Developers should be blogging.
  • Developers who blog, could probably be posting more.
  • Content should be open to the Nets; not restricted to “walled gardens” (internal company sites or platforms like Twitter?).
  • Developer content is the “Engine of the Community.”

Questions

  • What bright spots can come from these recommendations?
  • Does blogging help developers focus on the “how” over the “what”?
    • i.e. discussing what was fascinating or insightful, versus just showing that something can be done and move on.
  • Can this help developers with learning and mastery of their craft?
  • Would this help developers get more comfortable with openness, transparency, and vulnerability?
  • Could this make us better communicators?
