As I progress in my career as a software engineer, I find my self needing to write more. I create slide decks, give trainings, write documentations and proposals. Hence, I see first hand how strong written communication serves my career. On a personal level, here’s why I keep writing:
- I want to better communicate and put my thoughts together cohesively to share with others.
- Sometimes, I just want to understand my own thoughts.
- Reflect back on my writing and observe how I grew.
I do try, although reluctantly, to publish my writing despite my insecurity. Inspired by Show Your Work, I want to increase my odds of being discovered, connecting with others with shared interest, and to keep myself motivated to continuously improve.
