Before I create this blog I had in my mind that bloging for software would have been extremely easy and that I would have constantly ideas to share with the community.
I was totally wrong!! The hardest part of bloging is being unique and authentic. I see so many bloggers copying each other, so many tutorials looking “similar” and so my people doing this for the sake of blogging. I find no interest into doing tutorials that you can already google them, or writing a post sharing what I already know in order to convince a future employer of how awesome I am.
Instead of all of this I will use this space to share techniques that saved my problem and I couldn’t find them anywhere else but also I will introduce a series of posts with the name of weekend projects.
Weekend projects will actually be 5+5 or 2+5+3 or 2+2+2+2+2 hours of coding trying to solve a specific problem on a technology that I’m not aware of. What I want to achieve with this is to measure how easy it is to learn completely unknown things to you within a short amount of time, gathering as valuable information as possible. Let’s see how it will go…
ps: yeap during the weekends I actually like resting my brain and being with friends having fun, going to the park, watching movies, exploring London etc….
One last thing on mad blogging….
I was amazed the other day, in a negative way, by a job advertisement of one of the big players in the IT industry, saying that they want a world class engineer who blogs, has twitter followers, answers on forums every day and has tons of hobbies…so how the hell a great engineer finds time to spend on forums and facebook…why a world class engineer should prove he is one by using social media all day long?? :S
