Why it's great to write blog posts
I certainly agree with the article.  Something I have struggled with that has prevented me from writing more, is that I get near 0 eyes on the articles I spend a lot of time writing and thinking through. I'm not sure how to ever get eyes on my blogs, which has me discouraged from continuing writing more.  I use Medium and post the articles to HN/twitter, but it hasn't seemed to help any.
