I am definitely following along to see your answers to the other questions too, but did you blog as a fulltime job or did you do it as a sidegig? If as a sidegig how did you balance everything as your blog grew?

I worked as Net Engineer who was traveling a lot. I wrote my articles while on Train,Bus,Airplain.. I would write 10-20 articles and spread them across one week, once my blog took off and I started hiring editors and writers I had more time to focus on my DevOps career. In nut shell, some watch a 2hr movie.. I would use those 2hrs to write 2 articles .. while waking up at 5am go to work.
