Personal, Professional Blog Balance

I began this blog to stay updated on new technology. Lately, though, I’ve been asking myself if I should stick only to technical topics.

How do you decide what’s personal and what’s professional? If you mix the two, does it hurt your credibility or make you seem more real?

I think it actually makes you more approachable.

A Year of Transitions

The last four months have taught me a lot about adult life. I graduated, got used to a regular work schedule, saw friends move away, and met new people through my job. I didn’t expect to learn that who I am outside of work really shapes how people see me at work.

I get along best with coworkers who don’t just talk about work. The ones who share their interests, ideas, and lives outside the office are the ones I trust most.

What This Means for the Blog

I’m going to write about more than just tech here. You’ll still find technical posts, but I’ll also share thoughts on life, ideas, and anything else I think is worth posting.

Don’t worry. I’ll keep everything organized, so if you’re only interested in the code, you can easily skip the personal posts.
