I have trouble writing. It is hard to get ideas out of my head onto paper. For example this paragraph I have re-written multiple times from scratch. Many of the times I do not know where to start, or how to express a simple idea effectively on paper.

I have been working on my side project NearBeach (https://github.com/robotichead/NearBeach) for a few years now, and I still do not know how to write it's blog posts or documentation. A good example of my skill would be the following links;

- Documentation https://nearbeach.readthedocs.io\n- https://nearbeach.org/index.php/2020/03/10/nearbeach-beta/

My first opinion of my writing skill is that it does not flow and seems very UN-professional.

In 15+ years I am working as developer, I was never considered for a layoff. I am soul searching for a week now, and finally I got over my anger, disappointment and anxiety and ready to move on.

I believe it was nothing to do with my performance of skills as a developer. I believe I was expected to perform as a leader on top of solving problems, writing applications and my lack of leadership skills made me not worth my paycheck. In retrospect, higher ups did mention in passing about an year ago about how I need to speak up in meetings etc.

I think I don't know how to be a leader at a workplace.

So I come here being humbled. If you are a leader/team leader/c-suite people/managers please enlighten me. Or point me towards videos, books, ted talks, internet articles. I want to learn and be a better person and also don't want to repeat the mistakes in a new job.","time":1585703363,"title":"Ask HN: I lost my
