In high school, college, and in my 20's a wrote a lot, but I didn't like it enough to do it as a career. Instead I spent my life writing code and wrote a programming blog for almost 15 years that used to appear some on Hacker News (https://thecodist.com). I recently revived it because I like writing and now have time. I never tried to make money on it; it's just fun writing about programming and technology. Writing for a living would have been much less fun than doing programming for all those years and paying a lot less.

I read a lot so I am glad there are people who still write for a living. Sadly the internet started off free, and now we are stuck with ads everywhere and paying writers a decent wage is becoming harder.
