Many developers think that improving their skills only depends on practicing writing technical codes. But this is only part of the truth. Do you know that by writing blogs, you are indirectly improving your development skills? In this blog, I am going to take you through the fact that how blog writing will help you to achieve that.
Improve Your Logical Thinking
A major part that helps you write effective code is understanding the logic behind it. It has been proven through the years that one of the best ways to keep information stuck longer in your brain is by writing what is inside it and having it visualized in a way that gives you the ability to see, modify, correct and clarify that information. By practising blog writing, you will always picture what is in your mind in front of your eyes which helps you to clarify, analyze and organize the logic behind what you are thinking of.
Breakdown Complexity
another point. Blogs writing helps people to break down complex technical concepts into smaller portions easier for the brain to digest. So this is a good way to test your knowledge and see if you understand the small components of the sophosticated matter.
Inhance Your Networking
Writing blogs expose developers to new communities and networks, which help them to connect with people who share the same interest. as a result, surrounding yourself with that kind of people will defiantly have a positive impact on your professional development passway. being in such comunities will open more chalanges for you and expose you into different people who might guide you to better dveloments habbits and skills.
Motivate Your Researches
When writing a new blog. most probably it will be a result of research and studies that you made. Researches will expose you to what is going on in the field lately and keep you updated with all news related to technology.
Discover Your Weaknesses
Getting feedback on your blogs would open your eyes to your weak points and misunderstanding of the some of major or minor development concepts. Considering those feedback will encourage you to make more researches and studies that will difinatly increase your knowledge on that feild.
Raise Self Confidence
Raise your self confidence with more writing, which has an indirect improvement on your development skills. it might sound strange but here is the explanation. when writing, it helps you to express yourself in more clear way. although this is in writing, it will have significant improvement in your verbal communication. Once you are there, you will connect with advanced people more and more feeling confident enough to discueess complex subject and argue once needed, defending your ideas with evedances. you will learn how to be an active participant. that encourages you to seek better development knowledge and skills as you are competing with the best now.
Be More Successful
The last point I will go through is that writing blogs will help you to shine, build your reputation and profile. This will most probably open you to new opportunities that will benefit you in different ways. And could open new income streams that you were not aware of.
in conclusion, going through all the points I have included above. writing blogs will have positive impacts on developer which make them different from those who are improving their development skills through writing codes only.
