The reason software engineers do not write blog posts...

· screamingatmyscreen.com

...is them working on their blogging software, static site generator and deployment pipelines. And once that is done, it is time to write about all of that and then never publishing another post again. Granted, that joke has been made too many times, but let us be honest… it is not really wrong. I am guilty of that as well, but at least I try to write somewhat regularly.

You know, I've stopped fighting it. Bloggers who are software engineers like to mess with the software and talk about messing with the software, present company included. I have a blog because I enjoy building it and tinkering with it. I have a blog because sometimes, I like to write. So I just accept it, and I'm less disappointed in myself for not writing like a proper blogger.
