The hubris of starting a personal blog in English
27 Nov 2022
So I wanted to write. I wanted a place to organize myself. Now I have it, and I am happy. But, of course, some other part of me raised some questions:
- Shouldn’t I have more fleshed out plans for this blog, before starting it?
- Will it be interesting for anyone to read?
- Won’t I be embarrassed later about what I write now?
- Shouldn’t I write in my native Dutch, rather than English?
- Will I have the stamina to post something regularly?
The nice thing is that I don’t owe anyone any answers. Not even myself – time will tell.
My ambition is to write about weekly about what life is like for an aspiring software engineer, but also about personal topics.
Welcome!
