Similar. I spent the weekend writing my first technical blog post. I was finally proud enough of something I'd gone through to write about and share.
Submitted it to this place and not a single upvote or comment.
I'm okay with that, I wrote the piece for myself. I'm aware that the modal upvotes, possibly even the median upvotes, are zero.
Yet without even a single comment, it's hard to know if it was the wrong audience or bad writing. Or perhaps Monday lunchtime (GMT) was just a bad time to submit it, falling off /new before most people were even awake.
even if no one cares if you put it on your personal website a future employeer might care. Having a blog with technical posts can make you stand out from the crowd
