击破你不写博客的那些烂借口
Attacking your sucky excuses for not blogging
导读
这篇文章反驳“没时间、没人看、没东西写”等不写博客的借口，主张持续公开写作能提升表达、建立可见度并帮助他人理解。对写作者而言，它提醒我们把写作当成职业能力训练，并选择适合自己的公开方式与时机。
可以直接用的写作要点
- 01
把博客当作提升写作和帮助他人理解的长期训练，尤其技术从业者越资深越需要清晰表达。
- 02
公开写作要趁状态好、能留下积极专业印象时持续做，而不是等职业出问题才临时抱佛脚。
- 03
非英语母语者不必自卑，成为高效沟通者比达到文学顶峰更现实也更值得。
- 04
是否公开写作要考虑行业文化，银行、法律等保守行业需权衡职业风险；匿名也有其价值。

博客是提升写作和帮助他人理解的职业能力训练。
如果你写软件（而且写得不错），博客还有第二个重要理由：它是提升写作的好方法。你越资深越会发现，挑战不只是自己弄懂，而是帮别人弄懂。我共事过的真正出色的软件工程师，比如谷歌的资深人员，都是优秀写作者，并不断努力改进写作。补充：英语不是母语也别灰心，超过平均水平比你想的容易；优秀母语者也靠苦练。你可能没足够寿命达到文学顶峰，但完全够成为高效沟通者。

There is a second really important reason to blog, if you write software (and are any good at it). Blogging is a great way to improve your writing and the more senior you become the more you will find that your challenge is not just grokking things yourself but helping other people grok them. Almost all of the really stellar software engineers I worked with, like the senior people at Google, were excellent writers and constantly working hard to improve their writing. A side note, if English is your second language don't despair. It's easier to rise above the mean than you think and all the good native speakers have achieved their skills by working really hard on it. You might not have enough lifespan to hit the literary top but more than enough to become a really efficient communicator.
公开可见不是人人必需，匿名也有价值。
你现在知道，没有某种社交媒体存在感，你就隐形了。不过我们有些人挺喜欢这样，匿名自有其好处。

You already know that nowadays you’re invisible without some sort of social media presence. You know, some of us kind of like it that way. Anonymity has its virtues.
公开写作有时机和行业文化风险，应在状态好时持续经营。
很多人最担心的理由是：博客可能损害我的职业。在科技行业这不太是问题；但在银行或法律行业，最好别写博客。这些行业文化保密、从众、保守。在投行，做“办公室自由派”或公开出柜不会让你被解雇，但会阻止你进入高层俱乐部；当博主也属同类：不会因此被解雇，但真想往上爬就不会做。我的想法：人脉和博客重要，但应在你快乐、能留下积极专业印象时做，而不是被击垮、苦涩时做。很多人把人脉当“坏天气朋友”——职业出问题才用——这是错误，因为那时已太晚。你应在顺利时保持可见；遇麻烦时再找见过你最好状态的人。

Here's the most important one that is a concern for a lot of people: It might damage my career. In technology, this isn't so much of a concern. In banking or law, however, you're best off not to have a blog. The cultures of those industries are secretive, conformist, and conservative. You wouldn't be fired for being the "office liberal" or being an out-of-the-closet gay in an investment bank, but it would prevent you from getting into the upper-management club. Being a blogger is in the same category: not something you'd get fired for, but something you just wouldn't do if you were serious about climbing the ladder. My thoughts: networking and blogging are important, but people need to do those things when they're happy and able to make positive and professional impressions rather than beaten-down and bitter ones. A lot of people treat networking as a "foul-weather friend"-- something to do when in career trouble-- and this is a mistake, because then it's too late. You want to be visible when you are happy and things are going well; then, if you get into trouble, reach out to people who've seen you at your best.
