Assumed Audience: Hackers, programmers, anyone in the tech industry, and really anyone who is considering broadcasting their professional self.
I didn’t know who Adolfo Ochagavía was until last month, but I admire him now. He wrote one of the most genuine blog posts I have ever read.
It is called, “To Broadcast or Not to Broadcast,” and you really should just go read it. It was unfairly ignored on Hacker News, and we should fix that.
A few days ago, Jonas Hietala published a post about why he’s still writing after 15 years of blogging. And you should really read that post too, even though it wasn’t ignored.
Then Jimmy Miller wrote about “Being Raised by the Internet” since he didn’t have the best childhood. You should read that one too, even though it wasn’t ignored either.
And I realized that it was time for me to write a post that I have intended to write for years, a post talking about not just the good things, but the bad and the ugly too.
