A comment on Ask HN: Has your blog benefited you in any way?.

My blog benefits me in two major ways.

First, I use the blog as a sort of lab notebook to record notes about and experiences with my personal projects, which I reference often. Second, I post ideas I want to share so that I don't have to repeat them over and over in online discussions.

As a bonus, the occasional post gets shared on Hacker News and generates a lot of interest.

Notebook (and occasional vent) for me too!

Also, I hope that little snippets I've posted to solve particular problems, eg how to post a toot directly from Java which I couldn't find elsewhere and know wouldn't be hard because it's one line in curl, will help others, eg:
