Why not?  My “back to school” week made me think about that. Yes, between 40+ hours of work with Ex Machina and 4 master degree classes there’s still time to think (OK, not that much).

  • It’s easy. Once an essay is written, publishing it is just a click away.
  • It’s a good way to show what you can do. It beats just showing a diploma, it shows why you deserve it.
  • When you publish in the public domain, you can’t let go a “good enough” text, it pushes you do to something you’ll want to show the world.
  • You get a lot more for your sweat. Instead of just getting a grade you get a grade AND a chance to start an interesting conversation and/or get useful feedback.

So in the following months i’ll blog my stuff, let’s hope it won’t suck!
