On a more general note, I know many professionals in other fields that never write small articles about what they are doing. So is it normal just for programmers to write (small) articles like this? I write them, and other programmers I know write similar things. Maybe to program you need (among other things) active linguistic centers in the brain :-)
Why would it matter what is "normal"? Normality is constantly changing anyways. Or are you just curios if it's been common practice in the past?
