One tip I read from someone on Hacker News goes like this, to paraphrase:

If you find yourself googling a problem and it takes multiple searches/Stack Overflow posts to come up with a solution, this is great candidate for a "How To" blog post.

You can write a post that synthesizes your multiple searches/Stack Overflow posts into a one-stop shop for someone else (or yourself after you've forgotten how to do what you just did).

From time to time, I am writing for the future me and actual you exactly for that.
I solved a problem and just want to be able to rely on it later.
My last post is absolutely for that purpose. 😄
