Why blogging is a great way to start a career in software development?

Um yes! This is my first blog and by the title, you already know this blog is about blogging and I think that would be a great way to start working in the technology field. As we all know tech field is rising at an immense rate and every day something new is coming into the market either it's a device to use, language to learn, and new career opportunities. Almost in every working field in the world, you first learn the concepts or ideology of the field and then you have to just practice it in the real world but I think the tech field is the field in which you are a constant learner. Every year something new came up and you will be like you should dive into this new technology so that you don't feel lacking behind. Although to be clear it doesn't mean that what you have learned is now outdated and usage of your knowledge is zero. It is still in existence and going at the same pace so don't feel bad for yourself.

Being a developer doesn't mean that every solution is in your mind and you can use it whenever you want. Most of the time I don't even remember looking upon my codes which I've written way back and I'll be like oh how I came up with this solution and that all lines are like a new concept to me. Blogging is like a public notebook that you can keep with you all the time and where you can write your notes, new findings, maybe some good ideas that you learned and want to share with others, and even with yourself after a certain time. Because knowledge is all about expanding the more you expand the more you learn. The task of repetition is what makes you consistent with your work. Maybe your ideas will help someone else to solve their problem and he doesn't need to search around everywhere.

Technology is all about building a network. The bigger your network is, the bigger is your knowledge. Everyone is a master in their respective work and if you got some connections maybe that can help you in finding jobs, new startups or maybe you can help someone else. Blogging is like exchanging your notes with your classmates but on a global level so that you can have your knowledge and theirs's too. To be clear it is not stealing, it's just sharing your ideas with the rest of the world. A developer always fond of getting an easier solution for their problems so that he doesn't need to write a big chunk of code and maybe someone else will help you with that or if he already solved your problem and share it on a blog which you read and feels like, that man saved my time. Think it in another way too, assume your blog saved someone else's time so you become a problem solver for someone else. So I think blogging is a great way to expanding your knowledge and your network.
