Motivation for posts

Introduction

A) Rarely, but it happens:

I am asked to do similar things that I have already done before.

B) Very frequently, it happens for sure:

I forget how I did what I have already done before.

C) Always, it happens

I find interesting things other did and I want to do it after.

These three relevant facts motivated me to create this blog. Of course, it is also a way to show that I can do some stuff and share what I know to others.
