you could make this blog post even better by having it be more reflective (rather than descriptive)
one way of helping yourself do this is to use I rather than we and talk about yourself.
e.g.
> learned about microproccesors and the machine code which programs
what did you learn about them which you found most novel and new? what was the most important new understanding that you got?
> although i only figured out the add function after a long period of time it seemed more rewardingafter finally getting it.
this has more detail which is good. you could also reflect on things like:
why did it take so long to figure out how to do the add function ?
what was the hardest part of the problem?
what led you to the solution?
what was your initial approach and why did it not work?
why did you find it rewarding?
were you tempted to give up at any time? did you? how did you manage to persist when you were finding it not working?
what was your approach - repeated trial and error? - researching it or solo? taking breaks? revising notes? asking for help on open learning?
etc
