The road to hell is well known to be paved with good intentions. I set out with the intention of blogging plentifully to try and build my own personal brand, but like many blogs the reality hasn’t been quite so impressive. However, today I have been watching Scott Hanselman’s presentations on the topic “Every Developer Needs a Blog” Part 1 & Part 2 and have been inspired.
There was much goodness packed into the talk, but the part that stood out to me was the suggestion that the alpha geeks in a company tend to be the ones who send emails around to the rest of the team with all the shiny dev news, tips and other such content, and that this could make for prime bloggable content. I certainly fall into this camp, and so I’ve decided to see if I can retrofit some of my team emails into this blog (after removing anything too company specific), and subsequently use it for such future messages. I don’t expect to be anywhere near the bleeding edge of progress in the development community, but based on my experience most companies aren’t, so I hope that it will be of some value.
