Here we go!
Well, I’ve been trying to do this blog thing for almost 10 years, but just never had the time (or so I told myself.) There are a couple of reason I can use to “justify” my delays and neither of them are very good reasons:
- Procrastination: This is just a copout because this is just a matter of prioritization. When I want to do something, it gets done and on time. But I always seemed to find something that was more important that taking the time to set up a blog
- Unrealistic expectations: As a software developer, I love working in many areas, but web-based development has become my main focus over the last 5-6 years. While I certainly know how to build a website, I don’t consider myself a very good web designer and have always doubted my ability to create this “amazing” website that would show the world what a great developer I was.
While I have known for a while that neither of those excuses were valid, I let my inner voices convince me that I wasn’t ready. (Did I just admit to having multiple inner voices? Oh my!)
