Ego v Benefit
19 Feb 2008
As many will now know the Cookbook for CakePHP is now live. Coupled with the Bakery that should mean that documentation, and finding info regarding cake, just got a whole lot easier. These two applications now mean that the scope for this blog is reduced to things that I don't deem either book worthy (not documenting how to use something) or bakery worthy (useful info that is worth sharing) and that leaves... what?
So I'm now left asking myself what do do with this blog - should I be selfish and keep posting useful stuff to it (ego) or should I put info into the book and the bakery where more people will find it (benefit). I think benefit wins, but we'll see what the future brings :).

Well, how about both book/bakery and your blog? You get to keep the cake and eat it :-)

Personally, I decided against bakery/book as I don't like it if someone else has to approve my stuff.

You should do both... i can keep track of this blog with RSS... i can't do that with the book :-)

Hey man, you should totally keep this blog as it gives you the space to create my favourite type of articles: the ones when you are experimenting with some new cool feature without being fully tested or under development.

The benefits totally outweigh the ego imo, it's important to get a good following and advocates of the information/product.
keep the blog going, it's a great way to increase the awareness and speed of prototyping ideas.
