Why did I decide to blog?

Introduction

The thought of starting my own blog has followed me for years now. It's not about trying to get recognised, it's more about having so much to say, but no place to put it, so it can be useful for others. It's also an important achievement - overcoming the fear of failing.

Fear is what stops most of us, it helps us avoid irreversible mistakes, but it's also one of the most crucial reasons why it's so hard to succeed at something. There have been so many occasions where I was too afraid to continue working on project, because -

What if it doesn't succeed? It is just wasted time.

A couple months pass, and the idea I originally had is now making millions, but I am sitting here, regretting not taking the risk at the right time.

This is the time I finally take the risk, but not for just myself - I want to educate people who are new to the industry, drive amateurs forward and help experienced specialists to argument their own opinion by referencing to my articles or sometimes even solve a problem of their's.

What kind of content should we expect from You?

I will be writing my blog in a "systematic chaos" approach that is my life as a software engineer and CTO, by simply telling You how my day went, maybe making a rant and then explaining what problems I had and how I solved them.

Will You be talking about code?

Absolutely, code is my bread and butter, let me share some of it with You too.

What technologies can we learn from You?

I mostly code in TypeScript (Node,React) and PHP, but don't worry, I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve.

Thank You for reading this short post! Let's see where this journey leads us!

I should start blogging too. But I don't do it for the same reasons as you and I'm still learning english.
