Why should geeks write ?
According to me, there are three very simple reasons.
Firstly, writing is one of the most appreciated and celebrated form of art. Whether or not these 'geeks' use eloquent and fancy English is not the point. They express their art by talking about their passion and what could be more appreciated than honest and sincere passion ?
Secondly, the people who make fun of geeks are usually the ones that forget the fact that when they're using Google on how to make their printer work or what is the right use of __repr__ , its these geeks who come to their rescue. We often don't realize and forget that, these blogs and helper websites are made by geeks who know their stuff.
Third and the most important reason, its not about anyone else. Its not about appreciation or gratitude or praise. Its about these geeks who need to sort out their heads and ideas. Writing allows us to pen down what we sometimes can't say out loud. It allows us to share our ideas with other people. It allows us to clear our heads and look at our own work objectively.
Especially when it comes to coding, I find it extremely helpful to discuss my thought process out loud and discuss it with someone. Sometimes I find myself corrected, sometimes there's a better method to go about, and some lucky times, I find my method to be the best !
So, all in all,
Writing = Cool
Geeks = Writing
Therefore,
Geeks = Cool !
Until next time..
PS- Hope everyone had a good first few weeks !

Nice slog. I like your theme, and layout. And the post of course. At least it's upbeat and not dead pan serious like most of the others.

DeleteAll I can say to this is Short and Sweet. Totally agree with your reasoning specially the fact that writing helps us pin down our floating ideas in a coherent way.
