Thanks. I had another 4,000+ word post about monitors from a few years ago. After 250ish posts it's hard to keep track of everything but I think you are right

Thanks.
I had another 4,000+ word post about monitors from a few years ago.
After 250ish posts it's hard to keep track of everything but I think you are right. That monitor and this keyboard post is the only time I ever specifically wrote about a product.
I write about what I happen to be learning about and using at the moment. Sometimes it's Flask, sometimes it's Vim, sometimes it's finding a useful product or service I came across while doing developer related things (like typing or looking at a monitor for long hours per day). Often times what I write is what I wish I could have read before having to put in all of the hours of research myself.
- jhoechtl 7y agoThat's what (technical) blogging should be all about. Much appreciated, thanks!

- nickjj 7y agoThanks. I'm working on addressing that now. I'm currently at 1,800 words to explain the use of my affiliate links for an upcoming post. Then I will modify my static site generator to auto-insert a 1 line sentence into any post with an affiliate link. It will be a couple of hours or even a day for all of that to materialize since I need to balance that into a full day's work but I do want to get it out asap, so maybe tonight I'll be going to bed late. :D
- banachtarski 7y agoThanks for addressing it, I didn't mean to create a ton of unwanted work, but I do see this error crop up a lot among tech blogs that I peruse.
- nickjj 7y agoI should be thanking you. I addressed it. Although for a first pass I just put a small message about the affiliate links at the top of every post that has an affiliate link (15 out of 243 posts btw).
