For years, I had a very specific, high-stakes ritual every time I finished writing a blog post about Azure. But I was bit lazy to do proof reading few times to correct it and make a good flow.
So, like any loving husband, I did what felt natural: I handed it over to my wife.
Now, you have to understand—my wife works in a completely different domain. Cloud architecture to her might as well have been ancient Greek. But bless her heart, she never hesitated. She’d sit there for hours, squinting at complex technical terms, patiently fixing my clunky sentences, and trying to make my Azure ramblings actually read like human English.
Did those technical blogs make any sense to her? Absolutely not. But she was a total team player.
The silver lining for her back then? I rarely wrote blogs. So her “unpaid proofreading side-hustle” didn’t completely ruin her work-life balance.
