Sir there is one more thing I would like to find out from you. How do you balance writing code, which I believe you do on a daily basis, and coming up with the many diverse topics you write about on dev.to ? I am asking cause after practicing coding, and I feel like relaxing, I usually just come on dev.to to read what others posted, but I have noticed that every time I come, I see a post from you, and at times more than one.

Honestly, I don't write the most well-crafted posts ever. I write fairly simple things. If I think I have useful advice for one person, I decide to make a post to many instead.

I think this post from @pbeekums offers good advice on the topic:

Also, you probably don't notice when I'm not writing as much. Probably some confirmation bias at play.

I just read the post from @pbeekums and though edge case testing is something am yet to learn how to implement, I think I understood him, and I like the fact that his target audience are not the people who are already able to point out the missing things, but rather the people who need a start pointing to get to the level they can start pointing out missing things.
