For a while now, I have been thinking about starting my own personal blog. I enjoy writing about different kinds of things, be it technical 'tutorial'-ish posts or more essay-like posts about the things that interest me, bother me, ...
I think blogging about technical stuff will help me think about solving problems, will challenge me to try new things, .. I'm quite excited about doing this, to be honest. I suppose there's no problem with the appropriate-ness of technical articles.
Lately, I have been extremely frustrated by the 'humane' side of things at my workplace. I often feel like the people I talk to daily cannot grasp or understand the things that bother me so much. I feel like blogging about this would help me a great deal in putting 'work' as a whole in perspective.
However, I am not sure if it is appropriate to blog about this and how my employer will react if and when they find out about the blog. I would not mention any names, but I suppose those who are familiar with my situation could figure things out nonetheless. People could figure out who I am simply by looking at my submission history.. (I created a new acct to post this, sorry.)
This has been keeping me from asking advice to more knowledgeable people too. I have thought about posting about my situation on HN before but, knowing my employer also reads HN, I have never wanted to take any risk.
Thoughts?
