In the development process we always encounter such and such questions, the magic is that these questions can be found on the Internet, not only admire these great gods and aunts.

There was a time when I wanted to be like them, but I stayed away from blogging

Programming is boring enough, writing is even more boring, these two boring things really can not be solved in the top, probably the back of the head.

2020 has made me think about a lot of things, like the fact that everything is small except life and death, like writing a tech blog.

Why write it

  • Technology of precipitation

    1. ** Summary: In the first few years of ** as a technician, there was no obvious gap between us, but later, about 5 years later, some were still junior programmers and some were already architects. Of course there are many factors, but one of the most important is the habit of summarizing, and writing is a powerful tool for summarizing. In the process of writing, I can sort out my thoughts and fill in the gaps. Some ideas did not occur to me in programming, but occurred to me in writing. Write more, knowledge points will be connected into a line, forming a network.
    2. As the saying goes, a bad memory is better than a bad one. As you get older, your memory deteriorates. Writing is certainly a powerful tool for enhancing memory.
    3. Correction: People are deficient in many ways and sometimes even wrong. Often you don’t notice it. But by sharing, there are trolls and trolls who point it out. In this way, knowledge is constantly updated and iterated, so that there are not too many errors. In the correct cognition will go further and further, more and more open.

  • Create personal IP

    Influence definitely has a place in today’s world when it comes to what’s worth the most. Why Internet celebrities and stars make money is because of their influence. Gods of all walks of life do we media, not to earn the traffic fee, but to expand their influence. Everyone will be a star in the future. The Chinese market is so big that any small field has infinite possibilities. Whoever has the biggest influence will be the winner. Writing is another tool to expand influence. IP relatively large ruan Yifeng, Liao Xuefeng, Wang Yin, etc., each small circle also have their own stars. Are they still worrying about whether they’ll be unemployed at 35 or what to do when they can’t program anymore? Of course not. Other industries also have their own net red, IT is expected that the net red is you.

  • Workplace points

    I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but having your own blog for job hunting is a great plus. At the very least, it shows that you are a person who is good at summarizing and learning, and the interviewer can know more about you through the blog. It is best to put the articles you think are very good at the top, so as to show their level.

Why not?

Many friends know the value of blogging and have had the idea of blogging, but for various reasons never take the first step. Recently, I interviewed several friends and summarized several prominent reasons.

  1. Do not know what to write, you can write a simple usage, unfamiliar knowledge, class notes, programming experience, technical sharing, project sharing, problems encountered in the project and the solution, etc. Some people think it’s too easy and everyone can do it. There’s no need to write it. In fact, no matter what you write, some people will, some people will not. No matter how great people are, they all have their own cognitive shortcomings.
  2. Shy, afraid of writing bad no one to see, write wrong to be laughed at, attack. There’s no need for that, progress only happens when you get positive feedback from your readers. As long as you dare to write someone dare to read, as long as someone dare to criticize, WE dare to correct.
  3. The pursuit of perfect, many programmers code cleanliness, everything strive to be perfect, but writing this matter is not perfect, let alone at the beginning. The writer Ernest Hemingway said,”The first draft of everything.Is shit.” Great writers have such a mentality, what can we not let go? Completion is more important than perfection.

How to write

  1. Identify your purpose and audience

    First of all, we should make clear the purpose of writing and the audience. That is, setting the tone for a blog post, whether it’s light-hearted and exhaustive, serious and professional, or some other style.

    • For myself, it’s just an essay, a personal note. It can be an essay, even a sentence, a picture. Can be completely from the hi text.

    • Technology sharing, then it is necessary to consider the comprehensive, can not be written since the hi article, to have a certain routine, to clear the audience is what groups, is white, or master, or leadership. According to the audience’s preferences and their own ability to circle the appropriate play.

    • In general, Party A will give a certain format and requirements, and then combined with the experience of technical sharing into the draft.

      Since hi text: network popular words, is the high tone, rhetoric is gorgeous, but did not stand in the user’s position to write the article.

  2. Make a mind map

    Sometimes it’s hard to write. If you frame it in advance and create a mind map, it will be much easier and you won’t get stuck halfway through. The general structure of tech blogs is total – point – total. Here are some of my own templates to share, to be used as a starting point, if you have other templates to share, we can make progress together.

    • Put forward the problem -> analyze the problem -> solve the problem -> summarize the experience, technical problems to share.
    • Summary -> Introduction -> Branch topics -> Summary, general technical sharing.
    • Is what – principle – background > what problem to solve -> basic operation -> similar comparison -> summary, suitable for new technology to share

  3. reference

    In the process of writing, there may be a cognitive blind spot, or there may be a more authoritative expression, we can quote, quote the best authority, be careful to identify the source. Suggested citations should make up no more than 10% of your blog posts; too many are plagiarism. If you really do not know where to start, how to write, you can also refer to other similar articles, sometimes to complete a blog to refer to several or even dozens of articles. Will some honest people say this is not plagiarism? Plagiarism and use for reference or there is essential difference, and xiaobai start with are imitation, learning peers. You get your own style and routine.

  4. Markdown is a standard layout for almost all blogging sites

Where to write

There are still a lot of tech blogs out there, but here are a few of the mainstream ones

  • CSDN: This is the oldest blog forum in China. We are familiar with it. Cons: Bloated, full of ads, not very friendly to newcomers, hard to stand out.

  • Blog park: this is the second oldest blog site, the same advantage is better SEO, large user volume. The bad: The writing experience is terrible, like something from the last century, but it can customize and beautify the blog.

  • Mining, the platform is relatively new. The advantages are relatively fresh, good writing experience, can write their own pamphlets to make money. The disadvantage is that SEO is so bad that search engines can’t see nuggets of articles. Many soft ads and titles with the words of interview are used to send information and drainage.

  • V2ex also has a good tech vibe, but I don’t like its interface style.

  • Sifu, more focused on technical q&A platform. The quality of the responses was also high.

  • Tencent cloud community a lot of cattle, not quite suitable for the new. After writing for a period of time, you can go inside to compete together.

  • Ali Cloud habitat community and Tencent cloud community

  • Jane book is not a dedicated technology site, but also supports Markdown, SEO weight is high.

  • Zhihu is more focused on q&A, with high seo weight and suitable for drainage.

  • Public number, there is no threshold, in principle to bring their own fans to the public number, it is worth long-term operation.

  • Independent station, is more troublesome, but easier to control, their own place to determine their own. Some big cattle have their own blog sites.

    For example, Liao Xuefeng, Ruan Yifeng, Zi Ge, one of the three soft dogs of Zhihu “Wen Zhao Lun”, Wang Yin and so on.

    You can choose the right platform to publish your articles according to your preferences, or you can send them on multiple platforms and distribute them to expand your influence. The platform selection factor is

    • SEO
    • influence
    • His be fond of

conclusion

Blogging is a good thing, as long as you stick to it, there will be unexpected harvest. Ask no questions, the job is done.
