Why I Started a Blog
As a developer, writing things down and sharing them is the best way to learn. But where you write and how you organize it determines whether your content can compound in value over the long term.
After comparing platforms like WeChat Official Accounts, Zhihu, and Juejin, I ultimately chose a self-hosted blog as my home base. Three core reasons:
Full content ownership: Not subject to platform algorithms, bans, redesigns, or commercialization
Long-term SEO compounding: Valuable content keeps earning organic search traffic
