Ask HN：是什么阻止了你开始写博客？
Ask HN: What's stopping you from blogging?
导读
这是一篇 Ask HN 讨论帖：一位从 2007 年写到现在的博主问大家「想写博客却没开始，卡在哪里」。回复里几乎凑齐了写作者最常见的心理障碍——怕被熟人看到、觉得自己没有独家观点、担心写错误导别人。值得读的地方在于：它把「不敢公开写」的真实顾虑摊开，也顺带给出了几种能立刻用的破局思路。
可以直接用的写作要点
- 01
把博客定位成「写给自己的技术备忘录」，先解决自己下次会忘的问题，公开只是顺带的结果，不必先想读者。
- 02
承认「公开」本身就是最好的编辑：知道朋友可能看到，你会自然地把啰嗦的私人日记压缩成更简洁的表达。
- 03
别被「必须垂直一个领域」绑住，兴趣多的人可以写多条线，持续写下去比选题纯粹更重要。
- 04
写之前先接受「我可能写错」，把不确定的地方标明，这比因为怕误导别人而一个字不写要好。

公开带来的适度羞耻感能让文字更简洁，但对被熟人围观的恐惧会压住表达的坦率。
我怕别人真的会读我的博客。我很享受写博客，但它更像日记，帮我理清思路；纯私人日记我又容易絮絮叨叨，而博客会让我写得更简洁一些。可我又怕朋友发现它、拿我开玩笑，所以我还是写，只是没写到我想象中那么坦率。

Afraid people will read my blog. I enjoy blogging but it is like a journal. It helps me think. A private journal might work but I tend to ramble on in private journal. A blog makes me want to write a bit more concise. But I am afraid my friends will find it and may make fun of me. I still write but not as openly as I want to.
「必须专注单一领域」和「别人早写得更好」是两个让人不敢动笔的伪门槛。
我喜欢写，但老实说我在任何一个具体领域都没有值得持续分享、能长期留住读者的观点。我兴趣太杂，今天写技术，明天写音乐、理财、体育；如果只盯一个主题写，很快就没想法，最后大概会彻底停笔。而且我持有的任何观点，多半已经有人写过，还比我雄辩、比我更能吸引人。

I enjoy writing, but honestly don't have opinions worth sharing in one specific domain that would keep people engaged constantly nor consistently. I have too many interests to focus on one narrow domain. One day it could be something tech related, another day music related, finance related, sports related, etc. If I was just to blog about one topic constantly, I'd run out of ideas quickly and probably stop writing altogether. Plus, as others have said - any opinion I have is probably also held by someone who already has a consistent readership and is a lot more eloquent and engaging than I could ever dream of being.
回复式写作有语境依赖，加上「怕重复」和「怕写错害人」，构成了不敢公开写作的三重顾虑。
我写的东西大多是回复别人，把这些回复搬到别处去写感觉不合适，尤其我不会开放评论来承接讨论。另外我很少有独特观点，也不想把某些话题再吵一遍——比如关于堕胎合法性的争论，支持和反对的每条论证都已经有人说过，我写不出任何有价值的东西。最后，我出错的时候不少，担心自己写的技术内容把人带错路，浪费别人几小时甚至几天。

Most of what I write is in reply to someone else and writing those replies in a different location doesn't seem appropriate. Especially if I don't allow comments to host replies (which I surely wouldn't). Additionally, I rarely have unique opinions, and I am loathe to relitigate some topics. Think things like the debate over legal abortion: literally every argument has already been made for and against, I cannot possibly write anything of value on the subject. Finally, I'm wrong often enough that I'm concerned some of the technical content I write could lead people down the wrong path, wasting hours or days of their time.
公开写作的动机正在从交流退化为经营影响力与销售，代价上升让大量写作者撤回了私域。
现在还在公开写作的人，很多是在把注意力导进两个桶里：一是权力，比如技术圈的「公共知识分子」，他们本已商业成功，靠宣传自己的观点和世界观来积累影响力；二是销售，凡是用好 Twitter、LinkedIn 的人，都在推销自己、产品或公司。你可能也注意到，很多成功的创业者和投资人已经不公开写东西了，只在推自己投的项目和公司文化。公开的代价太大，于是请公关公司来模糊和过滤。挺可惜的，我当年就是通过公共论坛和 shared ideas 交到很多朋友和同事的，如今他们大多退回了 Signal、iMessage、Discord 这类私密渠道。

Many of the people who still write in public are funneling attention they get into those buckets: 1) Power. An example in the tech community are the "public intellectuals." Examples include Tim O'Reilly, Reid Hoffman, etc. They are already commercially successful. But are effectively cultivating influence and power by advocating for their ideas and world view. 2) Sales. Basically anyone who uses Twitter or LinkedIn well is selling themselves, their products, company, etc. You might've noticed that many successful operators and investors who have gone mostly silent and have mostly stopped writing about their thoughts in public, but are hyping their investments, products, company/culture, etc. The downsides are far too great, and so PR firms are engaged to obfuscate and filter. It's a real shame. I found many friends and colleagues through public forums and shared ideas. Most all of them have retreated to private channels like: Signal, iMessage, Discord, etc.
