I am not trying to make money from writing.

What I need is for my writing to spread enough that I can receive opportunities to have my programming ability evaluated.

The reason I write about programming is that, in the past, some readers found my programming essays interesting, and that led to chances for me to be tested. I had to leave graduate school because of financial problems, and I did not graduate from a prestigious university.

So this is not simply about monetizing writing. It is a struggle to receive opportunities. Those are fundamentally different things.

Some people may be happy writing things that nobody reads. But many people are happier when they can share their writing and let their values collide with those of others.

The world-wide web has been unfortunately been conquered, annexed and is being burned by the Tyrannical AI Empire. Until a Pure-Humans-Only alternative resistance movement and platform arises from its sordid ashes, we will all need to bow our heads and kneel before the God-Emperor.
