The answer is simple.. lots and lots of laziness and oversight.
I remember the begining of the year like yesterday. Well wasn’t it yesterday. I made severall promises. To myself, to people around me. One of them being I would write more blog posts. I didn’t keep that promise. (note the choice of words not ‘couldn’t but didn’t‘).
Writing, for me isn’t my favourite thing to do. I love coding, I love playing games, I spend 30% of my time scrolling mindlessly on X (not that I love that though). But,, I also love looking back. I’m still young and growing and I love making memories, and looking back at them in any form. Weather its taking pctures and videos, or making random ass posts on X to pen (we don’t actually use pens on twitter) down what I’m currently thinking. So I have to do something i don’t love (Writing long ass blogs) to get what i want (documentation in the future).
I didn’t write this year cause I procrastinated a lot. Oh… let me be done with my website I’ll build a dedicated blog section on it and start writing there. Oh.. this portfolio I built is trash let me redesign it and build a blog on that redesign and start writing there. Oh I won’t like writing blogs in code let me build a blog application where I can write my blogs and dynamically render it on my website and other blog platforms cause I wasn’t sure of what to stick with. (Substack, Medium, Hashnode, Dev.to). Eventually I found out the reson i settled with hashnode in the first place. It has excellent developer support. I can write on Hashnode and use the content anywhere using it as a Content Managment System and just fetch and render on my website. I can set up RSS feeds and also work with emails and newsletters in a developer friendly way. It had everything i wanted to custom build. I was just being lazy and distracted.
