I think it's absolutely worth it. I recently reflected on two decades of blogging[0], and -- as I elaborated there -- I feel the rise of static site generators has made it more worth it than ever. We talked about this further on a recent episode of Oxide and Friends[1], but I have found that SSGs encourage me to write more because they eliminate all of the WordPress dreck. I think that discussion will also answer many of your questions in terms of why it's so important to write, and why it's further important that your writing be truly yours and not sitting behind someone's proprietary platform. Finally, for more on this, I would recommend Writing for Developers[2], which is loaded with very concrete advice on what to write about.
