Jonas Hietala reflects on his 15-year journey of blogging, sharing insights into why he has maintained this practice over such a long period. He began his blog as a platform to document his attempts at creating game prototypes, driven by a desire to learn programming through game development. Initially, he found himself trapped in the complexities of building a game engine, which led to a lack of tangible progress. Discovering The Experimental Gameplay Project inspired him to shift his focus to rapid game prototyping, prompting the creation of his blog. As time passed, Hietala's blogging evolved beyond game development. He identifies several key reasons for his continued commitment to writing. Firstly, he enjoys the writing process itself, even though there have been periods of low productivity. Writing helps him clarify his thoughts and refine his ideas, akin to the process of refactoring code. The act of publishing his work encourages him to strive for higher quality, as he revises and polishes his posts before sharing them. The blog serves as a personal archive for documenting various projects, from building a 3D printer to writing a book. Hietala finds value in reviewing his past accomplishments, which counters feelings of stagnation. He also appreciates the blog as a creative outlet where he can experiment with technology and programming without external pressures. His motivations for blogging are intrinsic; he does not focus on external feedback or readership statistics, which he believes could detract from the joy of writing. Over the years, Hietala has experimented with different technologies for his blog, transitioning through various programming languages and frameworks. This exploration has kept the process engaging and allowed him to learn new skills. He notes that his posts have grown in length and complexity, reflecting his evolving interests and writing abilities. Initially, his entries were brief updates, but they have since transformed into more substantial pieces that require significant time and effort to produce. Looking ahead, Hietala acknowledges the unpredictability of the future but expresses a desire to continue blogging. He recognizes that his interests may shift again, but he is committed to enjoying the journey of writing and sharing his experiences.
