 individually or writing a post on a gated community like
Facebook. It gives me some of history on what I've been doing over the years,
showing a potential employer I've been doing IT stuff out of school as well
(very useful as a young professional). It even serves to remind myself now and
then, e.g. my IPv6 post[1] I fairly regularly use to check stuff like "what
was the maximum address length again".

In fact, not writing regularly might be more useful to many potential
followers. If you only write now and then, they can follow you without fearing
their inbox/feed will be flooded, and posts are much more likely to be of
quality. When deciding whether to follow back, irregular or semi-regular
Twitter users are much more likely to get one from me because they are usually
more interesting and not a day to day burden.

Interesting. I have my own reasons why you shouldn't post to Medium. It makes
you look like an elitist blowhard. The majority of Medium blog posts that I
have read are:

* 25 year old founder wants to explain how the reason his startup failed wasn't his fault.

* 25 year old founder has a list of "10 ways to live a meaningful life"

* 23 year old Javascript programmer proclaims "Node.js is dead, long live Node.js" (3 paragraphs)

* 20something Bay Area resident thinks he's solved the housing crisis in 4 paragraphs.

95% Egotistic tripe. I can't think of any Medium posts I ever shared with
someone else.

So I shouldn't post to Medium because other people, who to you are essentially
just assholes, post there?

Assholes use blogspot, or tumblr, or WordPress, or really anywhere on the
internet. So my only option would be to host my own or go through some fairly
unknown blog hosting service to avoid being included with the assholes of the
service?

I've only used Medium once, so I'm not really here to defend my use of it, but
from my use it was incredibly easy to type up and
individually or writing a post on a gated community like 
 Facebook. It give me some of history on what I've been do over the years, 
 showing a potential employer I've been perform IT stuff out of school as well 
 (very utilitarian as a young professional). It even serves to prompt myself nowadays and 
 then, e.g. my IPv6 post[1 ] I reasonably regularly use to check stuff like " what 
 was the maximum savoir-faire length again ". 

 In fact, not writing regularly might be more utilitarian to many potential 
 follower. If you merely write now and then, they can follow you without fear 
 their inbox / feed will be flooded, and posts are much more likely to be of 
 timbre. When deciding whether to take after back, irregular or semi - regular 
 Twitter drug user are much more likely to get one from me because they are usually 
 more interesting and not a day to day burden.
