为什么每个职场人都该考虑写博客
Why Every Professional Should Consider Blogging
导读
这篇文章主张专业人士应考虑写博客，以积累职业机会、建立连接并沉淀思考。HN 评论补充了博客作为“思维存档”和“机会链条”的长期价值，也提醒写作者别为更新而写、要区分写作练习与自我推广。对写作者而言，这些讨论既说明持续写作的复利，也提示内容质量和动机的重要性。
可以直接用的写作要点
- 01
用最短、最生动的语言记录关键洞见，让未来的自己能快速“加载”回当时理解问题的状态。
- 02
把博客当作跨时间的协作：后续可补充、修订或续写，让不同阶段的自己共同推进一个主题。
- 03
围绕一个“大而窄”的主题持续写，比为了显得更新频繁而空泛输出更有价值。
- 04
区分写作练习、注意力获取和脑暴日记，别把三者混同成博客策略。
HN 评论精选
博客是跨时间的思维存档，能让你快速恢复并继续深化过去的洞见。
写博客一个意想不到的好处，是它像大脑的时间机器/记忆转储。你苦苦思考后得到某个洞见，睡一觉可能就忘了；把它用最短、最生动的语言写下来，等于把心理内存序列化成文字，日后快速反序列化回脑中。写得好的话，几分钟就能回到“当时懂了”的状态，再继续工作、补充新洞见。久而久之，你会得到由多个“过去的自己”协作产生的深度见解；比如大学时的自己写下的笔记，能让十年后的自己几分钟内恢复到八九成理解。

Great article, and very true in my experience. One of my favorite, unexpected benefits of blogging is it's like a time-machine/memory dump for your brain. Here's what I mean. When you're thinking about a problem, you struggle, and struggle, then find some insight. When you go to sleep that insight might be gone. So you write it down, ideally in the shortest, most vivid language that can recreate the idea in your head: I serialize my mental RAM into words, and at a later date, reload that information into my head. If I wrote well, the deserialization is fast (few minutes) and my head is back into the mental state when I "got it". Then I can continue working, add some new insights, then serialize that new state back into words (a follow-up post, or adding to the original). Over time, you develop some deep insights which are the result of several "me"s collaborating on the problem. I know that college-me understood class XYZ really well, and because he wrote down some insights, 10-years-after-college me can reload that memory very quickly, and maybe add something new. It's like having a perfect tutor (you, when you got it) jump into your head and bring you up to speed. I don't remember vector calculus very well, but I can deserialize my notes and in a few minutes be 80-90% up to speed. This was a hugely unexpected benefit to blogging which I hadn't even considered. And incidentally, if you write in a way that deserializes well for you, it will likely be useful for many other people too. tl;dr: create a standard library of thought snippets so you can #include "vectorcalculus.h"
持续公开写作会带来不可预测的机会链条，扩大你的幸运表面积。
如果十年前没有个人博客，我不会被 Apress 邀请写书；没有那本书，就不会启动后来成为主要收入来源的专业博客；没有那个专业博客，就不会有播客机会和每周通讯，而通讯后来变成五份盈利通讯，还帮我成为 O'Reilly 会议联合主席。这不是炫耀，而是说明把自己展示出去会形成不可预测的“链条”，扩大“幸运表面积”会带来惊人结果。

If I hadn't blogged personally 10 years ago, I'd not have been approached to write a book for Apress. Without that book I wouldn't have launched the professional blog that was my main source of income for several years (more than the book was!). Without that professional blog, I wouldn't have got the podcasting gigs or launched the weekly newsletter which has now turned into 5 profitable newsletters and has just helped me become co-chair of an O'Reilly conference. This is not to brag but to show the "chains" that can happen by putting yourself out there. It's totally unpredictable but increasing your "luck surface area" has amazing outcomes. Also, consider Jeff Atwood, a similar chain arises.
要警惕为受欢迎而写带来的虚假感，动手实践比做空谈的意见领袖更重要。
我写博客时很受欢迎，但觉得自己像个骗子；停止写博客后不再受欢迎，却做出了一些不错的东西。我不认为人人如此，但我宁愿做东西，也不愿成为又一个站在肥皂箱上的“意见领袖”。

When I blogged, I was popular but felt like a scammer. When I stopped blogging, I wasn't popular but made some pretty nifty stuff. I'm not saying it's like that for everyone, but I'd rather be building stuff than become yet another talking head on a soapbox.
博客不等于写作练习；缺乏主题和思考的频繁更新会制造糟糕内容，应区分写作、推广和脑暴。
我不太确定。每个专业人士或许都该磨练写作，但博客不是理想练习。典型流行博客经常定期倾倒想法，作者没仔细思考也照写，只为让博客显得更新；作为写作练习可以，但对被吸引注意力的读者不利。若你有某个大而窄的主题，能写出很多高质量文章，但多数人没有。想记日记的话，未经编辑的短脑暴比写作练习更合适。若大量专业人士都写博客，会出现许多糟糕博客，反而拖累博客本已不高的声誉。所以应把写作练习、博取注意和留下脑暴当作不同方面分别对待。

I'm not so sure. Maybe every professional should hone their writing skills, but blogging is not the ideal exercise. Typical pop blogs spew out thoughts with regularity, even when the writers haven't thought about the subject carefully, they write just to write, to make the blog look up to date. That's ok as a writing exercise but it's not in the interest of readers who's attention they'll inevitably try to attract. You can blog out many quality posts if you have some big yet narrow theme to write about. But most people don't. If you want to keep a diary of thoughts, it will work much better as badly edited short braindumps, not writing exercises. If enough professionals blogged, it wouldn't be a good way to improve your career and make professional connections, since there would be a multitude of terrible blogs and it would drag down the current reputation of blogging, which isn't so hot already. That's why every professional should treat the separate aspects of blogging like writing exercises, attention whoring or leaving braindumps, as separate aspects.
