How and why I created this blog

As I said on the About page, I started this blog after I watched NetworkChuck’s video about why he started a blog and why should we. It was also a way to kinda force myself to pay more attention to what I was learning and make notes that other people might understand, and not only myself.

I’ve tried this blog idea once before, but since I didn’t write a proper documentation about it, I forgot how to write posts, where to write them and how I could change the theme, if I wanted to.

Since I became a Tech Lead on Oct-2023, I created this need to write and document stuff for other people and that’s because I needed those docs myself, as I became more and more involved in other projects at the company. So I wrote a bunch of them between one meeting and another and I got to really like and appreciate them even more. As a Software Engineer I used to write documentation, just not as often as when I became a Tech Lead. Besides writting them, I became an advocate for them 🥑😆 and I used to encourage my colleagues to so too (spoiler: not all of them wrote more, but a few did and that’s good enough for me).

So, that’s it! Simple as that! I hope I can keep up with this one. I have a few ideas jotted down and a much better documentation on how to post here, how to change the theme (which is sooo easy, maybe I’ll write about it too, that’s another idea), how to maintain the blog, and so on.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I am :)
