That's a great idea.

For example, **LinkedIn** is an absolute goldmine for building relationships and getting better jobs.

Every software engineer should at least try to build a personal brand.

**Consistency is key**. It takes a lot of discipline and hard work, but it's something you'll enjoy.

It's also a good idea to start small. Find a niche on LinkedIn/Twitter and post there.

Once you've got a few weeks/months/years under your belt, you can start a newsletter or even a blog to share more in depth stuff.

Your manager or colleagues won't have any consequences, in my opinion. In my opinion, they'll appreciate you even more.

These are my 2 cents.

Good luck!
