دشواری نوشتن

Watts Humphrey ازچهره‏های بسیار معروف در دنیای مهندسی نرم‏افزار به خصوص در حوزه فرآیندهای تولید نرم‏افزار است. ویرهبر TSP:Team Software Process , PSP:Personal Software Processدر انستیتو مهندسی نرم‏افزار دانشگاه کارنگی ملون است. وی نوشتن دروبلاگی را شروع کرده بود که متأسفانه از ادامه نوشتن در آن منصرف شده است. علت آن را در زیر بخوانید که به نکات ظریفی در مورد نوشتن وبلاگ آن هم در حوزه تخصصی اشاره دارد. نوشته زیر مرا به یاد صحبتهای علیرضا انداخت.

This is my final weblog entry.
After several months of writing this weblog, I have concluded that it would take a great deal of effort to make the material interesting enough to attrack a reasonable number of readers. Unfortunately, I do not have the time to do that and so must regretfully sign off. My thanks to those of you who have contributed comments or read my rather limited efforts to produce a useful weblog.
Life is a learning process and I have learned that making the kind of contribution that would really attrack a broad readership is not a minor task. It would require a level of commitment that I simply cannot muster at this time.

Goodby and my thanks to you, my readers.
