Y U NOT EMAIL

I just read a blog post and would have liked to share a tip with is author. In this modern world, I would have reached first for the blog's comment system, but nowadays my first intent is to try *gasp* email!.
Alas, the author didn't have its email published. Not even in its GitHub profile! So I ended up opening the post in Firefox to see if there was (horror) a Disqus widget, or some form to drop a line, or something.

As you can tell from me writing this, there wasn't any way to contact them. And I found it pretty strange. What is the point of writing in the open if it's not connecting with people, having conversations?
I mean, unless you are publishing essays, I guess? I don't know.

What's with this post anyway?

One of the most common advice to blogging is "just write". I am gonna try short, spur of the moment content. It might stick, it might not. Time will tell.
It's not so much that I think I have particularly acute comments to make about anything, really. I relate it to "I have this code that works, instead of looking for someone else to have solved the same problem better, or making it perfect, I will just publish it".
Just be out there, in the open.
