This. More people should probably blog to their perfect audience either that audience exists or not.
I used to write about stuff that I spent more than a couple of hours to and that couldn't be found on the internet. Back in the days at least that meant I'd get search engine traffic from other developers searching for solutions to that problem.
It didn't earn me any money but it was still very useful for me to learn from.
This is exactly my position. I won't doxx myself and post my blog here but I write to document the things that I work on and if someone else reads and learns something that's a bonus. The act of writing is fulfilling enough in and of itself.
