  If you’re writing blog posts then you’re not spending the time working on your projects.

    Writing is an engineering skill. There is no such thing as a good engineer who cannot write.

    Blogging about a topic is a good way to build network and raise awareness. A 10x developer surely strives to be a good blogger; writing is a key skill of such developer, and it needs to be continuously improved.

    Technical writing is a great skill and a valuable one. I used to write blog posts, a lot. It truly improved my ability to write great documentations, and i'm getting appreciated a lot by that skill, well on the other hand, if you are talking about the "how to reverse a string in x?" types of content, it's completely understandable.

    Believe it or not, there are senior engineers with comp packages of $300k+ who spend 80%+ of their time writing and being in meetings and very little if any actual coding. You could really call what they do as writing blog posts, just for the company.
