Why this Java blog? Are you feeling stagnated or finding it hard to get good Java jobs?

I can think of 8 reasons

1. As a journal of my valuable experience for future reference, which otherwise would be lost as Java/JEE technologies, frameworks, libraries, and tools are very vast.
2. As a motivator to proactively learn, apply, and experience new concepts, frameworks, and tools without feeling stagnated. Just knowing Java alone is never enough in this fiercely competitive market. You need to have Java + FIX engine + Spring batch, Java + Drools + JasperReports + Angular JS, Java + Hadoop, and so on. The prospective employers are very picky.
3. As a confidence booster through pre interview, pre group sharing, and pre problem solving refresher. Preparation breeds confidence, and confidence can bring success.
4. As a job security provider by empowering me to be in a position to find new contracts as a freelancer through interview preparation and online presence. Real job security is to be able to find job in any market with sought-after and marketable skills.
5. As a passive income generator. Can I bring in some income while I am not actively working? Can I bring in some income while I am in between jobs or contracts?
6. As a good will to share my experience. You can learn and understand more by helping others. Especially, proactively solving others' technical problems.
7. As a future door opener to new ventures, collaborations, and opportunities. You never know who is going to stumble across your blog. Your regular readers may become your future employers or customers.
8. As a passion☺. Prospective employers look for your passion in the job interviews. So, do you have a blog? Do you have a self-taught project in GitHub? Can you proudly explain how you went about fixing performance issues, thread-safety issues, memory issues, etc? Can you pick potential errors during peer code reviews?,  Can you pass the coding job interviews that given to you by some of the top-notch companies that take hiring quality developers very seriously? etc

In short, your online presence can tell a lot about you.
