writing, external validation thoughts
i think im a decent writer, but I end up only really doing it when I have to, so mainly uni reports.
Thought about it and I think it comes down to external validation, where I'd rather do programming because it's at least a useful end result for myself (and maybe others), whereas with writing I don't get that much satisfaction from just doing it, and so far I haven't felt like any of the blogs/project writeup thingies I've published have really provided much value for anyone else either, so I just end up not doing it

which in turn means I'm not a great *technical* writer, because I haven't been forced to practice that.
And a lot of what I have published ends up being long rambles I kinda never finished but just published anyways because I'm not ever going to finish them.
But I also don't feel like practicing this because what's the point, right..
