I’ve struggled with starting a blog because I often have trouble narrowing down what it is, I want to write about. I have thoughts and ideas about many different things, but the conventional wisdom is to pick a niche and stick to that if you want grow readership. However, that isn’t really my goal with this blog. This blog is more for me to explore ideas, improve myself, experiment, and get outside of my comfort zone. I often struggle with putting out content of any kind because I always want it to be perfect, but the reality is you get better by doing, putting work out there, receiving criticism and moving on.
That means that some of the things I write about won’t be as polished as I would like. My perspective will change, some ideas will be bad, some experiments will be a dead end, but as long as I’m growing and learning that’s ok. So, I’ve decided that’s what this blog will be about, trying things out, playing with ideas, and improving myself.
Dont be surprised if you see a post about programming followed by one about philosophy or business. This is just the way my brain works. I want to write about what interests me, and that includes a wide range of topics.
With that said if you think I have a bad take on something, you see a flaw in my reasoning, or just in general have a different perspective on something I write about, please comment or message me and let me know. Alternative perspectives and constructive criticism are what help us grow, and improve our thinking, so I welcome your feedback.
A maxim I try to follow in disagreement is to be quick to see where the other party is right and where I might be wrong. I intend on continuing to do that with the ideas I discuss here, and hope that anyone who is reading this blog will extend the same courtesy.
