"HN is useful for this too."
Many people wonder what the point of participating on HN is. This is my primary reason for doing it here. Being able to write something that survives here is a valuable skill to keep in practice; being able to do it when it against the groupthink even moreso, which I get to practice sometimes.
(I write because I must, but I could find much easier places to do it than here. I do keep a blog but that's for different things.)
