Somewhere in between. I keep a library of CSS patterns that I can copy paste in to achieve certain layouts etc. But I build each site's style from the ground up to make sure I keep it lean and utilise the power of the cascade to keep things consistent.

Really great work on this! A super useful tool that "has some legs" in terms of where you can take it in the future! Good luck with the project, hope it blows up, I have signed up! 🚀

I hope you enjoyed this monster article, if you have an "ultimate guide" that you have written that is equally as monstrous I would love to see it so drop it in the comments!

Hey man, big day of releases I see! ❤ Had a thought on your tag line: "Thank you so much for reading, and remember - Mac has your Back if Vue is in your Stack" Maybe a little too silly but I think it is fun! (also you have a stray "in" within your current tagline).

I tend to read on PC so that might be why I have the issue. I will certainly try the app out, thanks for the tip!

Welcome to hashnode, I hope you enjoy writing here! I (we) look forward to your future posts!

Welcome to hashnode, look forward to seeing what you have to say!

Welcome to hashnode, I have literally just started my journey here as well (I write over on DEV.to primarily) To answer your question, I would say it isn't important as such (you can be a great programmer without blogging), but it can certainly accelerate your career and open up a lot of opportunities! If you want to be a technical writer you need to: write regularly get familiar with how to format posts well learn to research well and link to related information well practice grammar, punctuation etc. If you want to write as a developer for job advancement / community: Write about what you enjoy Have a buffer of articles (release on a consistent schedule, so have a few articles in reserve for if you get busy) Interact with the articles of others Work on building up your social media at the same time (I didn't do this and regret it now) And finally the benefits of blogging as a developer: Public learning is a great way to get feedback (the negative feedback when you get something wrong is possibly even more valuable than the positive feedback as it is like having an angry metnor! 🤣) Your "soft skills" will improve automatically and make you better at communicating, skills which can really help in a developer role. You end up referencing your own work - the amount of times I find my own answer when I am googling a problem is surprising! It promotes discipline - you need to post consistently (how often is up to how much time you have), so you have to be consistent in your writing. It lets you make connections - I have some great online friends because of content creation, it is a great way to meet like minded people (and people with different opinions) Keep writing, you will enjoy it I am almost certain!

You know I don't mince my words and say what I think! It has actually ended up in me getting a ban on DEV temporarily 🤣 That is the reason that I have started the move to Hashnode earlier that expected (I was planning on doing it in March), but more on that in an upcoming post as, (as you can imagine) I will have something to say about that decision and how they handled it 😋!

Good luck in your search for a job, keep writing the effort will certainly pay off! (I have received several offers for work since I started writing if that helps with the motivation!). Quick tip (I am new to Hashnode, but this is one thing I know!), you can group articles into a series to make it easier for people to follow along. Click your profile picture (on the main community site) -> series. Then once you created the series just edit your articles and when the side bar pops up when you press save the first time there is a section for "series" about half way down where you can select which series a post belongs too! I look forward to seeing your progress and once again, best of luck in the job hunt!
