Comment on Ask HN: Are authors of “how to be great developer” blogs great developers?parent

Comments

There's two sides to this though:

Are good executive coaches good CEOs? No

No, but what do executive coaches do / contribute to a CEO's day-to-day & are they good at executing on that specific domain in their own lives/careers - yes.

In the same vein:

1. are development bloggers knowledgeable about the subjects they write about but less talented at executing on those topics efficiently.

OR

2. are development bloggers both knowledgeable and effective in their chosen subject & also excellent time managers (prolific in both blogging and developing)

OR

3. are they bad

I think all 3 of the above are possible (though the 2nd is extremely rare, & the 3rd is likely pretty common).
