While searching for content on the page, I noticed that almost all software engineers usually make blogs / personal websites, including me. Hmm, I want to review and clarify "Why should you make a blog website as a software engineer". There are some reasons I summarize based on my experience and others.
I do believe every opportunity to improve your skills, coding a blog website contains a lot of opportunities to learn.
I usually joke with my friend "In my country, each square meter has ten developers, especially web app engineers", so you're unable to tell others, especially clients how good you are. I've been on really big projects with really big clients but at the end of the day, none of them know my name.
So building a blog website is a good refresh. People around you have awareness about you and start developing your branding. It also gives you a full journey about what you have achieved so far. Every time I look at my page, I see a journey, from the beginning as an intern to a fresher, and now a full-stack engineer who can read and learn anything. It's not perfect, with bad company, and layoff here and there, But at the end of the day, I'm proud of myself, maybe you feel the same.
of course, it may become your passive income, hahaha don't think it is huge but at least buying a coffee from the website's ad revenue is pretty fun right?
I read somewhere that "Listening to understand others, but writing to understand yourself". It's your playground, so you can do anything, and write any functions, or features you haven't or you want to use it. It helps increase your creativity, and photography, even improve English like I'm doing. I have a bad writing skill so I want to improve it, building blogs is a good idea to improve it.
So I guess that's a lot for the first blog, It's may not a perfect blog or it can't persuade you to create a blog website as a software engineer. But I hope that reading the post helps you gain more energy and enthusiasm in your daily tasks. Also, in case that you have some works need to be done by coding or maintaining, or you have a great idea and transforming into business and need an IT service, I can help. you can contact me. Thank you.
