I discussed this with a super senior engineer (backend), and he said you're asking all those silly questions, if employers see this online they might find you not "capable". Once it's there it's forever. I said well... everyone started with asking silly questions, especially if you start from a non-stem background or completely switch career. But your solutions, what you've learnt can help those struggling and shy people who dare "not" ask silly questions. If we want to be inclusive, we should allow all the silly newbie questions to be asked.
That said, I don't think this should be compulsory. Doing this, especially on a regular basis, can be challenging, you must see if your lifestyle fits into this. Maybe tech is just where you get money, that's totally fine. You should dedicate the rest of your time to what you like most, perhaps it's growing plants in the garden, far away from the keyboard.
So only do it if you:
truly like writing and sharing
you need this to land a job (we all need to eat right)
Totally agree with you that we should allow all kind of questions! 💯
When I was super newbie, I struggled to ask questions because I was afraid of throwing stupid questions. But I struggled even more not to beat myself up for not understanding some things because I didn't ask for help.
I love your idea about inclusivity in this industry. We need that safe space to ask questions and help for everyone :)
And I also love that work & life balance idea!
We definitely need that 'away from screen' time :)
