I'm aging faster than I understood; have made basically no big impact on the world; am too burned out to be motivated towards such ends; do not believe in "afterlife"; likely won't have any children; and my cats are sterilized and won't outlive me anyway. Engineering blogging feels like my best chance at a little slice of Immortality, at least enough to feel "productively" occupied.

Oh, did not notice the corporate engineering thing at first. We don't have one after being acquired, but when we did the motivation was basically for recruiting purposes. Also surprisingly for internal documentation, people go to Google which indexes public websites but they don't search internal Confluence and Github Wiki articles
