It’s kind of obvious in retrospective, but I try to pay attention when I’m writing something on the internet.
For example, sharing my Emacs configuration made me realize I had a few hacks in place and I felt dirty sharing those. I took some time to rework the hacks and that resulted in improving my configuration and making it more maintainable.
The same thing happens when I try to explain an idea to someone or when I make a presentation at work. I try to explain my ideas in the most intelligible way possible and that’s often when I realize I don’t grasp the idea fully and am unable to explain at least some part of it.
In other words, writing is like having a rubber duck.
Thank you for being my rubber duck.
I hope you will gain something from reading my blog posts. If you do, or do not, I’d love to hear about it!
