@phlash @neil Interestingly i don’t have that problem when creating the curriculum for the programming classes I teach or when sharing my knowledge in courses I give at work. Because there I know that i’m the expert and people want to learn from me.

@neil sounds like a good way of thinking about it. My only “blog” right now is this mastodon account and that’s probably enough for me for now. I don’t want the mental load of “oh do i toot about this or write a post?” or “ah damn, i haven’t written anything in a long time”. It’s however good to see that some people seem to enjoy my toots here, especially my very low-key “travel blog” about my cycling…

@neil one other thought that keeps me from contributing text to the web sometimes: “nobody is interested in that” or “everyone knows this already”. Just because i can imagine people who know a thing doesn’t mean my way of writing about something doesn’t contribute in a meaningful way. It’s hard to get this thought out of my head at times.
