Sorry I'm trying to improve my English but progresses are really logarithmic at this point... Well also the fact that I try to write this blog posts in very little time (it took me two hours at max, probably even a mother tongue should alloc more time to end with an high quality blog post) does not help either.

I wouldn't stress about your english skills; I would bet the vast majority of us have no problem following your ideas.

Your English is great. I'm a native speaker, and reading your post, I thought you were too. A slightly sloppy one with a couple odd turns of phrase, but perfectly clear and comprehensible. I understood the quoted parts just fine. That said, please don't make excuses about how little time you spent on it. It might be true, but it shows lack of respect for your audience. Like code, if it's worth writing at all, it's probably worth writing well. Keep writing, keep coding!

  Thank you nkurz, sorry about the excuses about little time, I did not argumented it enough: the fact is that I really love to share what I'm doing using blog posts, so I tend to work hard to achieve something that's worth sharing, but then I'm so excited about sharing it that I write the post as fast as possible! I should try to resist some more hours in order to obtain a post that is more consistent and easy to follow... instead I tend to push the "publish" button and even when the post is already live I continue fixing it... Thanks for the comment!

It might be true, but it shows lack of respect for your audience. antirez's readership probably overlaps significantly with his userbase. For purely selfish reasons, I wholeheartedly commend and encourage his goal of spending less time writing blog posts. :)
