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

Blogging is a great idea when starting your career in software development. Writing about the technologies you are working with will help solidify complex and new concepts.

Writing code and explaining how it works as a form of teaching others forces you to think about the bigger picture regarding your code and how it might work with other use cases. This might also help you find a better solution to solve the problem or a refactoring that offers better code reuse and readability.

Blogging in general will increase your written communication skills and talking about topics you are interested in might lead to additional research regarding new topics and industry trends.

Additionally writing about how you work through roadblocks shows readers how you think about code and the process you use to solve problems. This gives readers a better understanding of who you are as a developer.
