I don't have a blog, but I write a lot. That's why I could relate to many points raised by this author. However, something was missing.
In my opinion, if you don't write to better understand how you think, you're dead wood. No one can better relate with your brain than yourself, and writing helps that relation grow.
Also, that helps improve your coding skills too. As you better understand how your thinking process works, so your understanding of how to solve coding related problems.
Anyway, in the end there's always someone interested in learning from other's experiences, as long they are a bit enlightening or entertaining.
Anyway, I should start blogging just to write more. :)

Can't agree more. that's pretty much what got me into writing back in my teens. But i have found that without reading,thinking and making connections, it's kinda monotonous and you stop writing. Recently found 750words.com and enjoy the interface(mine's black bg with white text). Infact, last 3 months i have written 50K+ words on that site. I hear mac guys can use ommwriter, but linux user here.
__ my only current gripe being having to store it on someone's server. think i'll build a open-source package.
