Research: Write coding blog vs contribution to stackoverflow?

Nov. 28, 2016

Julia likes to share her experience on writing coding blog vs contribution to stackoverflow. Both areas she is new.

Facts:
1. coding blog, less than 2 years; starting from June 2015
2. stackoverflow, less than 1 month; she did add her profile in Nov. 2016.

To write a coding blog is a lonely journey, she tried to figure out how others are doing, and how others are busy working on to progress to be top-talented.

Julia did work on several issues efficiently through coding blog:

1. Keep track of what she did work on before; document the time she worked;
2. Google blogger has very good features, very easy to do blog search, labels are very helpful;
3. Julia started to find more ideas to get more organized, work on the algorithm continuously through days, weeks, months.
4. Julia had good time to read her own coding blog, on her cellular phone, desktop, and everywhere.

It is like tennis sports, it is better to have a lot of hitting partners, and learn from team work, communications.

Julia did not get any coding review through blog comment. So, it is true that not so many people work on coding blog these days. One of reasons Julia works on is to develop her writing talent.

Share a quote to encourage herself to work hard - find it first!

Will come back to add more thoughts on the topic.

Actionable Items:
1. Study the post:

2. Study how she does to get such good performance:

- Julia likes to calm down quickly when she gets nervous. When she has a negative self-talk, she will remind herself - "Everyone faces challenges on court and I'm no different." Replace with positive self-talk.
