For my first post, I want to share the strategy that's going to guide this blog and my social media presence. Many people think of content creation as a linear process: draft a long-form article, then try to chop it up for Twitter and LinkedIn. But I'm taking a different approach—one I'm calling the "Contribution First" workflow.
The idea is simple: the most valuable content isn't "created," it's "documented." As I work on my projects, build a new demo, or just solve a tricky bug, I'm going to capture those genuine insights in a private "thought bank." This could be a simple text file, a markdown doc, or even a personal Git repo.
From there, the content is translated for each platform:
- Twitter gets the atomic idea: a quick tip, a single line of code, or a surprising tool discovery that can be shared instantly.
- LinkedIn gets the professional lesson: a more structured reflection on a challenge or a broader insight about a technical pattern.
- This blog becomes the long-form archive: where I'll combine a series of these small insights into a comprehensive article, like a deep dive into a project or a guide to a new workflow.
This feels more authentic and sustainable than a traditional content schedule. It ensures that everything I share is a direct result of my real-world work.
So, this is my commitment: to share the raw, unedited, and valuable parts of my process, not just the polished final products. I hope you'll follow along with this journey.
