Thanks!

Very conscious decision made 6 months ago, when I realized that writing these little articles was doing more for me than learning Haskell, going to conferences, or just about anything else.

I've met more brilliant people because of something I've written than because of any conference or party I've attended.

So I re-prioritized to make writing 2nd priority (1st is still my new company), instead of letting them fall to last priority. It means waking up earlier or staying up later, or saying no to many other things, but it's worth it.



Can you please elaborate? Just blog comments or Interesting people contacting you to collaborate because you wrote something that resonated with their philosophical tuning fork?
