🫶 I am a poem I am not software
Robin Rendle:
[W]hat should our personal websites do? Should we prioritize getting a new gig or selling a service? Or can we be ourselves? Weird and fun and peculiar? Should we talk about topic X but avoid topic Y? That’s a common one I hear from fellow bloggers. Or what if a potential employer doesn’t see the last big project we worked on? Are we hurting our future careers by blogging about fun recipes or books that we like? Isn’t that an unnecessary distraction from moving from an L3 to an L4 or whatever?
But my question has always been this: how can we be both?
I'm trying to be both on this site. When in doubt, I tend to lean toward fun and peculiar. That's where the interesting stuff lives. That's where you find stuff that makes people smile.
