I started publishing "TIL" posts a few years ago and everything in this post here resonated 100% with my experience of writing those.
The great thing about TILs is that once you form a solid set of habits around them they can be extremely quick to put together: the majority of my TIL posts take between 15 minutes and half an hour to write.
I make extensive personal notes on everything I'm doing (in GitHub issues threads or VS Code scratch documents) - turning those into a TIL is mainly about pasting those notes into a Markdown file and tidying them up a bit.
https://til.simonwillison.net/ is my collection so far.
I get a huge amount of value out of these. I don't particularly care if other people read them, the value is in helping me better understand the material and enabling me to refer back to them in the future.
I refer to some of them multiple times every week! This one for example: https://til.simonwillison.net/python/pyproject
