Thank you to the people who write the blogs I read. I was reminded how important you are to me when I answered a question earlier today dev.to/piannaf/comment/ijh0 Luckily you are all on twitter, too, so I can mention you as thanks and recommend others follow your blogs.

By following personal blogs, you essentially curate your own publication. I have tried following publications before, but there too much stuff that's irrelevant or duplicated. Reading a headline takes time, feeling like your wasting your time is bad for mental health.

Whenever I come across a new blog (and yes, please let me know which ones you recommend), I read through the latest 5 posts. If it seems like I'd want to get updates with every new post, I subscribe. Often, I'll read through the entire history as well. Good writing doesn't age.

And it may look like I must spend a lot of time reading these blogs (that's a lot of people). But they are real people with time constraints like me, and they aren't paid by how many posts they write. So I spend less time reading blogs than I do commuting.

Much less, actually. Twitter is the content that takes most of my "reading" time. I have also highly curated my twitter feed and get through everything every day (that's getting harder these days so it's about time to reorganize). Anyway, thanks again, and keep writing!
