@benjaminhollon yes.

The weird thing is, I recognize that fallacy in my thinking, yet I get sucked into the idea I have to create content regardless of that not necessarily being the case.

I sometimes worry that I’ve gotten way too caught up in the idea that in order to be a really amazing software engineer, I need to be tweeting, blogging, and making videos on everything I’m doing.

Ironically, that then means I have less time … to actually work on real stuff.

Anyone felt that way?

I wrote a short piece on Mastodon, getting started, and how delightful it's been so far:

"For one, there’s no “algorithm” ... For some who grew up in the age of never ending, dopamine dumping, slot machine scrolling, this might take awhile to get used to. But what you’ll find instead is real conversation and the ability to engage with those people directly."
