I have the same experience as you and initially have the same doubts before I started to blogging 10 years ago. Now I keep telling friends around me to start blogging.

Writing blogging is really a good way to refresh thoughts about some old experience and help bring new ideas.

Thank you for spreading the message about blogging. I think more people should do it because it’s good both at a personal level but also for the web as a whole.

Good points! Here is why I blog: http://dk1mi.radio/why-i-write/

One reason is that every project is worth starting and finishing when you blog as it will result in something useful - no matter if it is a fail or not.

Amazing. I started blogging more recently too. It helps me think more clearly. It is such a great way to clarify ones thoughts. https://www.lycee.ai/blog

To the submitter: You don’t have to (and arguably shouldn’t) add the year in parenthesis when pointing to content which is less than a year old. That’s a convention to be used when submitting something years in the future so people readily have context that the ideas expressed may be outdated.

It's helpful here. From the title you would expect it to be retrospective a few years into the past. What makes this interesting is that the blog started this year, which seems rare.

In my case the date didn’t dispel that confusion. HN convention is to have the date of publication in parenthesis, so it still came across as “this is a retrospective post written in 2024”.

Before commenting I noticed the submitter is a fairly recent user and they have done the same on the previous submission, which made me think perhaps they’re confused as to when the date should be added, otherwise I wouldn’t have commented.

It's alright, this isn't StackOverflow.

I didn’t say it was wrong. I’m merely describing convention to a new user. I would have appreciated someone doing the same for me. If the author disagrees, they are free to ignore without consequence.
