Viewership for blogposts usually peak at the two-week mark, so they will be judged based on that. The statistics are from LinkedIn and Google.
Top Picks
These are the blogposts that were the cream of the crop. They hit high viewership numbers. Half of them were about current affairs. The rest were made up of a listicle, a review and a dry technical piece. |
| Crowd-pleasers! |
ONE Pass to rule them all was one of my most recent blogposts. I used no profanities in there, but damn, the shade I threw would make an umbrella blush.
The old-fashioned way to skirt the OCBC Phishing Scam was written as a thought piece on something that happened in Singapore last xxx. No surprises there; this was a hot topic on our little island.
Reference Review: The Clean Coder: A Code of Conduct for Professional Programmers; now, this one was a surprise. My reviews generally haven't had all that much success. Add to the fact that I wasn't excessively complimentary towards Uncle Bob...
Ten Lessons From The Art Of War Applied To Software Development, a fun listicle I put together after attending some rooms on the Clubhouse app.
Discrete And Continuous Data Defined is a headscratcher. This was a dry a piece as I've ever done and honestly I'm not at all sure why it got so popular.
Elon Musk and the Twitter Takeover was an expected hit; after all, it was the topic for a while there regardless of whether or not you were a techie.
Excellent Response
This group encompasses blogposts that got a decent amount of readership, though not enough to propel them to the next tier. |
| Cleared that bar. |
Using Trello outside of the professional workplace was a little geek-out piece of how I used this software in my everyday life.
Software Review: Power BI had a decent enough amount of clicks, which was probably better than I hoped for.
Google moves to 2FA! underperformed, really. Maybe it just wasn't that interesting.
Five Software Development Takeaways From the COP Saga in 2021 was a piece about Singapore politics, though I tied it into tech practices.
Film Review: Black Mirror Series One astonished me because I didn't think people would be interested in a series that premiered so long ago.
Trail of the Catfish was something I wrote about an experience I witnessed and was only peripherally involved in. It had a fair bit of traction on Facebook (because people who use Facebook love that shit) but not so much on LinkedIn.
OK-ish
These posts got a bit of attention, but statistically they got the short end of the stick. Most of them were dry technical blogposts, so no surprise there. |
| Good reads. |
Tech Wizardry in the Beijing Winter Olympics and Ten Pieces Of African Wisdom In Software Development were pieces I felt deserved more views, but it is what it is.
Functional Terminology, The Different Categories of Data Analytics, Mean, Median and Mode in Python, Thoughts About HTML5, Different Number Types in Datasets and Code indentation reduction using Guard Clauses were wholly technical, nothing exciting here.
Reading Books In Modern Technology was something whimsical I did. Probably could have written it better.
App Review: Bazooka Boy was a mediocre review about a mediocre app. Probably got the views it deserved.
Special Mentions
These were blogposts that were especially poignant in the year 2022. They might not have obtained all that much traction, but I'm going to mention them here because they were personally important to me. |
| Spotlight! |
How I became a Married Software Developer chronicles the arduous years leading up to my marriage, and is closely tied to my career as a software developer.
Ten Cheap Shots At Internet Explorer is a glorious, glorious day for me and I refuse to let the lack of views dampen it.
That's all for now!
It has been a pretty decent year, considering this is the eighth straight year I'm doing this. It's not been an outstanding year by any means, but I like to think I at least met a certain standard. If you're reading this, kudos for your continued support!Thanks for your kind 8-tention!
