Linux sysadmins: 6 reasons you should write technical articles
My goal is to convince you to write articles—specifically, technical articles. The six reasons to write technical articles also apply to other types of written pieces, such as documentation and project proposals. I can't promise that you'll become a billionaire or that this will improve your romantic life, but the benefits for you will be higher than for those who choose not to write.
You might think that writing is difficult or that you don't know how to start. Forget the situations where you needed to write for school or for your work. No one is forcing you to do this. If you write about something that you love or that know well, in your area of expertise, the ideas will come much more easily.
You also have support from your editors, who'll give you guidelines for developing and organizing your ideas in a fluid and interesting way for readers.
What if you want to write about something that doesn't resonate with the word love that I used previously? Well, even bad experiences can sometimes be useful for other readers (Of course, it's better when someone presents a problem and also a solution). It can even be funny. But don't overdo the "dark side" of situations that you write about. This world needs more good vibes.
