If your wife is already interested in writing about this, and already doing it, then there is absolutely value: to her. She gets to process what she's working through and pour it out on paper. That's already great. It will absolutely also look great on her portfolio. It might also be good tech exposure for her to start working with either Wordpress, or extra bonus points, Jekyll, and version control. Speaking as someone who mentors other people in making their way through data to programming, yes, please, please have her write about this! There are so many people looking to get into programming, but literally have no idea where to start because the whole universe is overwhelming to them and full of people who seem to be programming forever. HN is probably not the audience for this blog, but hundreds of thousands of data analysts and people who use Excel on a day-to-day basis are. Finally, a nitpick, but I'd take issue with "These aren't enough to actually work in our industry" - if she's working with technical skills and wants to learn more, she's already in the industry and then some. Good luck to her!
