When I started my blog, I added Google Analytics—not to track performance, but because I was curious about how people engage with my posts.
Over time, as I’ve been writing for this blog, I’ve observed an interesting trend. People seem to gravitate toward “ready-made recipes” or practical guides. For instance, when I wrote posts about studying Golang or how Exercism helps me learn, they attracted little attention. Similarly, posts about LeetCode, study techniques, or my personal schedule and life routines didn’t generate much traffic.
However, when I shared a step-by-step guide on using Swagger in a Golang API—essentially a “recipe”—it became the most-viewed post in my blog’s history.
The image above shows a visualization of my blog’s behavior over the past week. As we can see, the post about Swagger has received more than double the views of any other post.
Treat your life as a long journey—a marathon, not a sprint. Organize your time, study a little every day, and create a routine that helps you stay focused. Aim for deep, meaningful learning, because acquiring deep knowledge is the best way to secure a relatively stable future—free from fears and uncertainties, even about challenges like AI.
