Ask HN: What is your blog and why should I read it?

• mattbgates 7y ago
  https://confessionsoftheprofessions.com https://confessionsoftheprofessions.com Long story short. I was 18... graduated high school and knew it all. I was going to get a good job, work my way up the ladder, get paid well, and live happily ever after with the girl of my dreams, wherever she was. Yeah... it didn't end up like that at all. I hated my job. I wondered why I did it. For the paycheck. Until one day, after 3 years of service with the company, I asked my boss for a raise. He gave me a penny. That day changed my life. I decided to go to college. During my time at college, I studied while I was a security officer on his payroll. I did my job but now I was getting paid to educate myself. Eventually, I'd move on from that job, work others, live in another country, live in another state, go to college in another state, volunteer in different parts of the world, etc. I had stories to tell about my life, and how all these situations, including the bad ones, helped improve my life, such as working for a tyrant boss -- who helped unleash a hidden talent I had for programming. I will forever not like the man, but what he taught me, helped me stay focused and start a business. Anyways, I eventually became a web designer. I went to school for psychology, which is what I wanted to practice, but I had student loans and no one was hiring, so I applied across the boards of Craigslist, and got a hit for a programming job, hence working for the tyrant boss above, but I was still fascinated with this question: why are some people so passionate about work while others just do their jobs? So I sought to figure it out and even landed my dream job, though it came with a lot of stipulation... almost like selling your soul to the devil. I couldn't pursue what I studied in college, which was a cross between social psych and IO psych... so I created the website, which keeps me connected to my passion and continues to improve my skills in web technology. The website has been a compliment to my life. If I had pursued my original goals, I wouldn't be making as much as I am making in my field right now. So I keep doing what I do because that pays the bill, but the site keeps me connected. It is 7 years old... millions of visitors from all over the world, and many people understood its mission and have kept it going.. i opened it up for anyone to "confess" .. no way I could have written over 2500 articles, helped evolve it to what it is today.. which is a lot of information about what we're all doing at work, both professional and personal articles. So the premise is: Tell me your story of what it is like to go to work as you, why you are there, why you keep going back, etc. I am fasinated with jobs and careers and how people make money. It has since evolved into much more, but that was the start. Life happens... and you just go the direction you feel is the best for you. Sometimes you'll make mistakes and have regrets, but it's best you do something, then nothing at all. Live for today, hope for tomorrow, reflect on what you really want in your life. Read more about my start here which explains the whole job situation: https://www.confessionsoftheprofessions.com/the-opportunity/ https://www.confessionsoftheprofessions.com/the-opportunity/

  This is my personal blog: https://www.therror.com/ https://www.therror.com/ (It's in spanish, sorry) It's been active for 18 years, I was 16 when I started it and now I'm trying to write three or four times a week about several topics, mostly what comes to mind at the moment.
• au246 7y ago
  Hello HN, long time lurker here, first time posting. I blog over at https://www.caribbeansignal.com https://www.caribbeansignal.com My blog covers topics that are rarely covered or looked at by MSM in the Caribbean. For example, I've been collecting and compiling murder rates and fuel prices - going back a few years - for one island (and slowly branching out to another). I've also looked at the number of KFC's per capita across the region, and also compared prices for a Zinger sandwhich across the Caribbean in USD Dollars (something similar to the Big Mac Index, helpful for PPP analysis but not conclusive as its just one item). Recently, I've been looking at COVID-19 in the Caribbean and have a few articles up (doctors per capita, tracking confirmed cases via: https://covid19.caribbeansignal.com https://covid19.caribbeansignal.com) Be safe!

• gautamnarula 7y ago
  Mine is www.gautamnarula.com (or, if it's easier to remember, www.gautam.city, since my name is pronounced "Gotham"!). My elevator pitch: I'm curious about many different topics and have had some unconventional experiences, and I share them through writing. A reader would hopefully learn many interesting things along the way. For example, my most recent post was a photo-essay showing what lockdown life is like in NYC, America's coronavirus epicenter: https://www.gautamnarula.com/new-york-in-the-time-of-coronavirus/ https://www.gautamnarula.com/new-york-in-the-time-of-coronav... My most popular post (hundreds of thousands, perhaps even a million views) is a step-by-step guide to rapidly improving at chess: www.gautamnarula.com/how-to-get-good-at-chess-fast Here's a preview from a book I wrote about my friendship with a well-known death row inmate: https://www.gautamnarula.com/remain-free-preview-ii-death-row/ https://www.gautamnarula.com/remain-free-preview-ii-death-ro... A surprisingly popular one was the post I wrote as a sophomore in college on creating a multiplayer Elo-based rating system. This post actually got me a great job several years later! www.gautamnarula.com/rating/ Another post about meeting a surfer who helped me rethink what was important to me: https://www.gautamnarula.com/what-javier-taught-me/ https://www.gautamnarula.com/what-javier-taught-me/

  • Paraesthetic 7y ago
    So mainly oxidized metal?
    • dpbriggs 7y ago
      That's correct. Most people have a narrow concept of Rust and confuse it with iron oxide, when reality is so much more vibrant. Copper oxides are my personal favourite.
• geocrasher 7y ago
  https://miscdotgeek.com https://miscdotgeek.com Why should you read it? Several reasons. The first is that this is where I write things that I'm passionate about! If you have ever been interested in ham radio, electronics or just in general geekiest saying there's a good chance that I've written about it. I document my projects well and don't assume knowledge when I explain things. I also own my failures and explain them in full. Lastly, I make a point to smash through the myths, mysteries and flat out misinformation regarding whatever I'm writing about. I show how normal people can do whatever they set their minds to! Disclaimer: this comment written at the end of a very long day on very little sleep. My blog is better than that. Usually.

  https://www.friendlyskies.net/intj https://www.friendlyskies.net/intj I write for one of the main segments of the HN audience: The INTJ personality type. If you... - Tend to focus on contingency planning and anticipating future moves / events - See yourself as a strategist - Have something of a critic's mindset - Tend to Google for, save, or bookmark the next knowledge nugget, software package, or life hack - Benefit from studying anti-patterns, sometimes more than studying patterns - Are open to learning and experimental flexibility in the name of discovering a world of new hacks and perspectives... ...Then it might be worth your time. I'm on a bit of a blog break due to COVID-19 efforts at work but it's been pretty consistently active for years now.

  Nice to see these sort of posts popping up on HN. I've been enjoying HN the past few weeks - a lot of community related posts and engagement. Honestly I don't have much worth reading on my blog. But I see a lot of posts about the "best way to store knowledge" - org-mode, roam, zettelkasten, markdown etc. My blog isn't worth reading because that's exactly what I use it for. If you're looking for a way to [1] take notes, [2] keep track of links you enjoyed reading, or [3] save links to things you want to learn about in the future, then I recommend doing it in your blog. At the end of your life you'll be able to look back at your own personal wikipedia of knowledge. Posts (maybe) worth reading: * Design tips for developers: https://paul.copplest.one/blog/design.html https://paul.copplest.one/blog/design.html (was fairly controversial when I posted it previously) * My previous company's tech stack: https://paul.copplest.one/blog/nimbus-tech-2019-04.html#tech-stack https://paul.copplest.one/blog/nimbus-tech-2019-04.html#tech...

  • tkainrad 7y ago
    I really like the design of your page! It has very clear navigation and the side menu makes it easy to jump between posts and even get an overview of the current post. This is something a lot of blog sites lack.

      Thanks for the kind words. A sidebar was my primary requirement when choosing which framework to use. It’s just a modified VuePress in case you’re interested.

I’ve heard other people have read it to learn more about Clojure, and to help guide them away from corporate dread. Importantly, I have my contact information there and in my HN bio and I’m always down to talk to people from the internet! It lacks the 10,000 word, fun war stories from more veteran engineers, sadly.

• shadowsun7 7y ago
  https://commoncog.com/blog/ https://commoncog.com/blog/ I write mostly about career moats. I wrote a post about the Metagame that was on HN's front page a few weeks ago. But the context in which that post exists is actually in the context of smart thinking in one's career. My hard rule with the blog is that I should (as much as possible) write only about things I can verify through practice. None of that 'it sounds insightful because it is novel, but actually I came up with it in the shower and I've not actually tested it in real life'. It makes it a little difficult to write these days, as I'm doing a lot of thinking, reading, and experimenting around the recession. I should have more in a few months.
  • quickthrower2 7y ago
    I love your blog. Since that metagame post I’ve had you in my reader and get excited when a new post appears. I just read some of your cashflow post and that is interesting, actually I’d like to comment on it so adding comments would be nice or at least have a HN thread for each post.
  • hazz99 7y ago
    This looks fantastic, I'll definitely be reading through this. Already really enjoyed two of your posts.
  • _curious_ 7y ago
    "My hard rule with the blog is that I should (as much as possible) write only about things I can verify through practice." Kudos. If only more bloggers held the same standard, the internet would be a better place ;)
  • christophergs 7y ago
    Your blog is a true gem.
  • _xander 7y ago
    Wow, this makes for fantastic reading. The ideas you're floating on job security, career capital and moats articulate something I've seen through countless hours of LinkedIn scanning and personal experience, but packaged into digestible lessons. This is empiricism leading to radical thinking. My only comment, in the form of a sticker warning, would be that thinking about the world purely via a lens of pragmatism (e.g. 'winner takes all', 'be mission agnostic', etc.) and performance (e.g. 'maximally optimise your career capital', etc.) can cause burnout. Or it did for me at least. This is because it can simultaneously build cynicism (cyclical negative thinking patterns) and impossible personal goals (confirming experiences of failure or struggle). The heuristic isn't worth that sacrifice, even if it leads you to the "right" answer.

  • tomarr 7y ago
    Do you have many transport projects on the go currently? One that I always thought would be interesting is looking at optimisation of the distribution of the Santander Cycle Hire bikes. These are redistributed to expected demand, but movements are costly in terms of people and vans. I spent a week with the team a few years ago and they had a fairly rudimentary modelling system that a university had put together, which involved mostly manual tweaking of routes. This would make for an interesting Kaggle or similar.

  https://www.ryankemper.io/post/2020-02-29-debugging/ https://www.ryankemper.io/post/2020-02-29-debugging/ Like many in tech, I made a blog when it was time for me to find a new job. And in typical fashion I paid for an overpriced .io domain instead of the equivalent .xyz or .dev. The blog only has one post and will probably only have one post for the foreseeable future (until I leave for my next job, I imagine). I think there are parts of the above article that could use some work, but overall I'm actually quite happy with it. But, as you might expect, actually writing the blog post did not make a huge difference in my job search. Given that my blog will only sporadically have content, the timing of that content corresponding to career moves, I would not recommend reading my blog since there won't really be much to read. But hey, at least I've taken part in the time-honored tradition of the "oh shit I need to find a new job, better create a blog"-blog.

  While I have all the bloggers - please can I ask you to remember adding an RSS feed to your blog? This is what makes it possible for those like me to keep returning for the occasional new post.
  • nabn 7y ago
    And published date too, please!
    • CodeWriter23 7y ago
      Definitely this. I don’t even read posts on tech blogs that lack a publication date because everything moves so fast, and I don’t want to waste my time using stale info.
    • weinzierl 7y ago
      If I remember correctly then patio11 argued strongly against adding anything that dates your posts and write "evergreen content" instead. From a reader perspective I never understood this: I much prefer if there is a date right at the top, under the headline. From a user perspective I also don't like to see ads, I don't like to be asked to sign up for a newsletter or to subscribe to a Youtube channel but I guess it's all necessary evil that's done for the business.
      • aglionby 7y ago
        I guess it depends on what you're writing about: tech might benefit more from a date than philosophy. I'm sure he's written multiple times about this, but patio11 has a thread you might be referring to here https://twitter.com/patio11/status/1234141833661440001 https://twitter.com/patio11/status/1234141833661440001 .
      • Shorn 7y ago
        Regarding the newsletter/youtube subscription thing: I run a paid service https://kopi.cloud https://kopi.cloud that can do email-to-rss conversion. You give the newsletter or youtube account an address like youtube@weinzierl.kopi.cloud and it will then publish emails received at that address as an RSS feed you can subscribe to. Some RSS readers are beginning to support this functionality too (Inoreader just started doing this, but you need to be subscribed to one of the higher tiers to get the feature).

• hnkain 7y ago
  https://blog.paulhankin.net https://blog.paulhankin.net I don't think everyone should read it, because it's quite technical. There's articles on mathematics, game-theory, and computer science. The highlight (in my opinion) is a series of articles on Fibonacci numbers, with relatively novel content: https://blog.paulhankin.net/fibonacci/ https://blog.paulhankin.net/fibonacci/, https://blog.paulhankin.net/fibonacci2/ https://blog.paulhankin.net/fibonacci2/, https://blog.paulhankin.net/fibonacci_doubling/ https://blog.paulhankin.net/fibonacci_doubling/ The first two in particular, are quite fun I think, playing with short integer-only computation of the Fibonacci numbers (and also the n-acci numbers).

  https://blog.nytsoi.net/ https://blog.nytsoi.net/ No reason to read it, I post quite rarely and just about any (usually technical) things that come to my mind. Most people find it from a search engine when searching for help with different things. My most viewed blog post is about a version incompatibility between PuTTY and OpenSSH. :) I do have a couple of longer post ideas hanging around the back of my mind, but there's just so much else to do in life. The eternal struggle. Currently I'm writing... the blog engine, again. I'm moving it to a new server and decided I'd bump the deps and freshen up the technical side of the frontend. It's made with Elixir and the Raxx framework, but it's not an example of clean code practises, more like a testing ground.

  Great thread! I sometimes wish there was a variant of Hacker News that only had blog posts written by individuals. Mine is https://tkainrad.dev https://tkainrad.dev I think you should read my blog because I invest a lot of effort into my posts. Not sure why I do that, as there is no reward except growing Google Analytics numbers.

  • polote 7y ago
    > I sometimes wish there was a variant of Hacker News that only had blog posts written by individuals I agree I tried to do it here : http://luap.info:4000/links http://luap.info:4000/links Basically I'm taking all the links published into HN and I'm filtering the domains which are news domains or appear too frequently, but that is still a lot of links, so I'm not calling it a success yet
    • tkainrad 7y ago
      That's cool! At some point, I myself thought about making a clone of HN that just filters out everything that is not a blog post. However, I couldn't come up with a solid filter criteria. I agree that your method is not quite there yet, still a lot of large domains (airbnb.com, spiegel.de, spectator.co,...), but you started and that is already more than I ever did ;) I would suggest including the HN metadata, such as the number of upvotes and comments. These are, in combination with the title, important criteria for me whether I click on something or not.

  I am a statistician / data scientist who blogs about nifty sampling methods, which are frequently used in rendering computer graphics such as: ray-tracing (via Quasi-Monte Carlo methods), object placement, dithering, etc... http://www.extremelearning.com.au http://www.extremelearning.com.au All these methods try to find the most efficient sampling techniques that minimize various undesirable effects such as aliasing. Techniques and topics include: blue noise distributions; low discrepancy quasirandom sequences; orthogonal grid-based sampling; and even-sampling on the surface of n-spheres. My most favourite articles (two of which have previously been featured on HN) include: * "The unreasonable effectiveness of quasirandom sequences" http://extremelearning.com.au/unreasonable-effectiveness-of-quasirandom-sequences/ http://extremelearning.com.au/unreasonable-effectiveness-of-... * "A new method to construct isotropic blue noise with uniform projections" http://extremelearning.com.au/isotropic-blue-noise-point-sets/ http://extremelearning.com.au/isotropic-blue-noise-point-set... * "Evenly distributing points on a sphere" http://extremelearning.com.au/evenly-distributing-points-on-a-sphere/ http://extremelearning.com.au/evenly-distributing-points-on-...

  You can find me at https://www.janmeppe.com/ https://www.janmeppe.com/ I wrote one blog post about regex for noobs which hit the HN frontpage: https://www.janmeppe.com/blog/regex-for-noobs/ https://www.janmeppe.com/blog/regex-for-noobs/ My latest post is on a leetcode problem: https://www.janmeppe.com/blog/Leetcode-378/ https://www.janmeppe.com/blog/Leetcode-378/ I write mainly for my own learning... In all honesty I write a lot, but publish very little. I fear what others think of my writing, I know this is very much an irrational fear but I still feel it. I've been writing more and am trying to overcome this fear.

  https://www.walkedtheblueline.com https://www.walkedtheblueline.com It will document my 10 year journey as a Police Officer in Australia and transition back into the real world. (plus it gives me a document of my time before is dispaears into eternity) The other half will be interviews/profiles of other former officers that have moved on / medically retired with pstd and how leaving the force has effected them. It may not be the most admired occupation by some, but the after effects can often lead to suicide, so I am to hopefully make it a place that may offer some others some hope. Feel free to sign up, hopefully should have posts coming this week.

  I have two, one that started off as a development blog where I would post my learnings for myself and others who may have the same issues. This eventually moved to a more personal blog about personal issues also written in the hopes it can help me and others with similar problems. - https://michaelbrooks.co.uk https://michaelbrooks.co.uk And my second blog is more focused on Web Development tutorials (mainly PHP/Laravel and JS/VueJS). I'm hoping to write a course on Laravel that starts at developing an app using traditional methods and then converting it to an API consumed via a frontend language (starting with Vue and then possibly moving over to React). All with TDD in mind so you can see how that works and how it'll change as the app changes. - https://michaelbrooks.dev https://michaelbrooks.dev

  • ninkendo 7y ago
    I checked out your first link (on an iPhone) and all I saw was a mailing list signup form taking up the whole screen. I always wanted to ask people who do things like this on their websites: Why? Why if I’ve never even seen your site, do you think that the first thing I want to do is divulge my email address to you and receive spam? I don’t know even one thing about your site yet. Haven’t read word #1 from headline #1 of article #1 yet, but you seem to think my real goal is to get email from you. I mean, do you get actual people who do that? Not bots that submit random emails to random fields, but real people who sign up for mailing lists without having read a single article? At least it’s not a dialog that renders on a delay after I’ve been reading something for 5 seconds, I guess. You’re honest enough to show me the signup link right off the bat so I know to close the tab, so thanks for that. (Sorry if I seem overly angry about this... I actually kinda am, because I remember a time when this wasn’t nearly ubiquitous on every damned weblog. My policy is to always close the tab when I get an email signup form, and so far I’m sticking to that.)
    • pmichaud 7y ago
      The basic reason this is incredibly tempting to do is that it works. Not just a little, but it works radically better than the alternative or politely or subtly asking or providing the option tastefully at the bottom of the article or whatever. I don' really have a good model of why, but empirically it does. And it's not what you'd think either: it's just be spam or bot or something. It's real people who actually do it, and do it a huge percentage of the time, and who collectively make a categorical difference to your viewership. It's weird, honestly. I wish I understood better why it was such a strong effect.

I used to document projects, these days I talk about baking bread, open-source work, and the fun of raising a bilingual child. It's a little random, it's not got a narrow focus.

  My blog is my comments here on HN as responses to economically active workers reporting or gossiping - I do not comment often because constant activity becomes encumbered with redundancy (in the form of responses without new experience - I tend to exercise responses with random workers IRL by word-of-mouth in different industries while performing physical labor before making them permanent text on HN). I've left 2 comments tonight so I am bending the rules a bit (whiskey + quarantine keeping me out of Tesla production).

More robust pages are a result. This blog is the start of my attempts to help people over that initial hump.

  https://sander.saares.eu/ https://sander.saares.eu/ on media streaming and DRM. DRM is often seen as some sort of dark art. A lot of this comes from the proprietary nature of it, with NDAs on every corner and technology licensing processes that require months of effort to get access to even the basic documentation. Over the past decade, ever-increasing standardization in the media industry has opened up DRM to a great degree, though much remains in the proprietary domain for legacy reasons. Even though standardization has helped a great deal, it is hard to find human-readable information about DRM. ISO/IEC 23001-7:2016 does not make for easy bedtime reading! I have worked in the field for 12 years and was recently motivated to share my knowledge and remove some of the unwarranted mystery from the field. I am currently writing up a new series of articles, to be published starting May, opening up the topic of DRM for a wider audience. You will find them at my website, though right now there are only a few old articles from ancient history there. If you make solutions that aim to provide Hollywood grade content or just think this topic sounds interesting, this upcoming series might be a good introduction to the necessary content security universe for you. I might also post other digital media topics there from time to time.

I am trying to give an out-of-the-box view on what I have learned as a frequent reader and amateur thinker on these topics. However, I didn't attempt to write something like this before.

A place where I plant my flag as well. So, only one proper article at the moment: https://startizer.com/guide-to-landing-pages-part-1-the-foundations/ https://startizer.com/guide-to-landing-pages-part-1-the-foun... Cheers, Ace.

  https://www.ignition-training.com/posts https://www.ignition-training.com/posts It's a blog about being a technical trainer. It's new, so there's only a few posts at the moment, but I have lots of notes for future posts. It covers training skills, course development skills, and managing instructors. The blog is new, but I have been an instructor for nearly twenty years and wanted to share some things I have learned from being on the ground. It's a view that I have not seen in other blogs.
  • dopeboy 7y ago
    With COVID-19 here, I imagine in person training has been affected. Can you talk through some of possible solutions at hand for the environment we're in?
    • kordite 7y ago
      Firstly, there's running instructor-led training sessions remotely. I'm doing that, and I'm lucky in that the companies I work with have reliable video-conferencing systems. Unfortunately, the training experience really suffers when swapping to remote. It's not as much fun without audience density and being able to read individuals. E-Learning is something that many companies will already have for their proprietary technologies. This can range from simple recorded videos to full-on courses with projects and assessments. It's early days, but I expect that there will be an increased demand if the COVID-19 restrictions continue. I say that companies have it for their proprietary technologies, not general ones because they'll often buy general technology e-learning from someone like Pluralsight or O'Reilly. For some topics, e-learning is fantastic, but if you want developers to learn deeply and quickly, then I think instructor-led is the best option. The blog is new, but that's an issue I touch on in: https://ignition-training.com/posts/elearning-wrong/ https://ignition-training.com/posts/elearning-wrong/. In the future, that may mean that we see more e-learning supported by remote instructors. This is hardly a new idea and is certainly under heavy testing with all of the homeschooling right now. I don't yet have specific software recommendations. That's something I definitely need to be looking at - thanks for the nudge!

  I run Tedium, which is an obscurities newsletter/blog: https://tedium.co/ https://tedium.co/ It’s been a passion project of mine for about five years, with the general idea of using the internet to find/surface obscure things that don’t get written about very often, with a goal of going against the grain of virality. I would say this dives into tech topics about half the time. (Last week I wrote a piece on the HP TouchPad.) I keep a fairly regular posting schedule—twice a week, with syndicated pieces from The Conversation as well. Contributed writers are frequently featured with diverse focus areas—one guy is an expert at novelty music, for example. The approach started as a newsletter, and is built with a newsletter schedule in mind. But it has the length and breadth of a well-researched blog. Some samples if you’re curious: HP TouchPad History: https://tedium.co/2020/03/31/hp-touchpad-history/ https://tedium.co/2020/03/31/hp-touchpad-history/ How Netflix turned Bill Clinton’s impeachment into a growth-hacking opportunity: https://tedium.co/2020/02/06/impeachment-growth-hacking/ https://tedium.co/2020/02/06/impeachment-growth-hacking/ An interview with one of the first newsletter authors: https://tedium.co/2020/01/02/this-is-true-randy-cassingham-interview/ https://tedium.co/2020/01/02/this-is-true-randy-cassingham-i...

  http://asemic-horizon.com http://asemic-horizon.com It's not for everyone and certainly for not of most of the HN crowd. It's about a web of concepts that is akin to philosophy but has slightly different goals and expectations of itself. It's very self-referential and has built over time a lot of shorthand jargon a.k.a. technical terminology. Takes a while to get into. But I believe it's a fresh way of looking at the ways of looking at contemporary society and events. You'll like it if you're keen of "continental philosophy" albeit it doesn't often cite the standard authors.

  https://dev.to/kayis https://dev.to/kayis I started writing 2017 as a new years resolution. Back in the days I mostly wrote about things that I encountered in my daily development work and saw people struggle with or I struggled with myself. Webpack, React, etc. It helped me to understand things by writing explanations for other people. 2019 I started to get offerings from companies to write for them, that moved the focus from my own problems in frontend development to the problems of other people. I wrote a few interesting pieces about APIs. Today I make most of my money by writing for different companies all over the world, often I don't find the time to create my own content anymore, so my blog is often filled with guest posts. On the one hand it's sad, because it goes more into the agency direction than into the influencer direction, but on the other hand I make good money with writing, and normally writers aren't paid well, so I got that going for me, haha.

For other interests, like personal finance or art, there is such a glut of content, it’s hard to be motivated to “add to the noise”. I hope to find some motivation and niche ideas here to get back to it.

  https://www.nishanpantha.com.np/mind-cave/ https://www.nishanpantha.com.np/mind-cave/ I was going through depression and writing was the only way that helped me calm down. It really helped. It helped a lot. And whenever I feel like writing about certain topics (maybe philosophy, maybe life, maybe habits?), I jolt them down in my journal. Eventually, post them to my personal blog. Not sure if this is something anyone can find interesting to read about. There are poems, ranting, quotidian events.

  https://bayesianneuron.com/ https://bayesianneuron.com/ Hopefully I’m not late to the party! I write about ML, optimization & CS, and... well, whatever I want or find interesting. I have a public backlog of projects and blog posts too. I started it because I kinda like writing, but also because when I do write (technical topics) I enjoy giving very clear, fully understandable explanations. Not a fan of the “here’s concept A, it’s very straightforward... we’re now at concept Z which as you can see makes use of A” style of writing. I understand it’s need and use, you can't always explain everything, especially if the topic is already very niche and highly complex, or maybe you don’t have the space. I find that it lets me learn more or jogs my memory on other subjects when I have to fully explain and try to teach things. Also blogging is fun!

  Not a blog per se but take a look at: https://artofemails.com/ https://artofemails.com/ It shares proven email templates to get clients, ask for referrals, etc. Yes there are a lot of templates out there, but 95% of them sound template-y and could probably pass a reverse Turing test. I find the key to what makes an email work is both in the ask and how you say it (sounding human sounds like it should be second-nature, until we find ourselves typing into that box with a goal to convince someone or sell something).

These little essences you get out of the day to day challenges you face as individuals, in my case a software engineer, allows you to see things from a whole of a different perspective.

    • danShumway 7y ago
      Thanks! For anyone reading this who wants more information on how they work without needing to dig through the site's source code, there's a quick demo I have up on JSFiddle. This was written a while ago, I suspect there are easier ways to make this work today. - Asides using only floats: http://jsfiddle.net/danShumway/0wqkk578/ http://jsfiddle.net/danShumway/0wqkk578/ There are a few irritations I have with the sidenotes that I want to clear up in the redesign (specifically for mobile readers), so this implementation might get tweaked a little bit in the future. The hanging quotes are probably the part of this site I'm most proud of. They're pure HTML/CSS and render as smart quotes, but if you select the text to copy, you'll get normal straight quotes, which makes pasting into sites like HN slightly nicer and more consistent. The implementation was kind of cobbled together from a couple of other sites, and then extended to be more robust and support a few edge-case scenarios. - Hanging quotes both at the start and within paragraphs: http://jsfiddle.net/danShumway/36jag4o2/ http://jsfiddle.net/danShumway/36jag4o2/

I mostly do it because I found I use to read books and then never talk about them or think about them afterwards so I would just forget about the book after a little while. I figured that writing something down about the book would help clarify my thoughts on it and I could remember it better. I also wanted to build something with spring boot and kotlin so this was it.

  http://jeffrey.io/writings.html http://jeffrey.io/writings.html I used it as a cache for people that I mentored a few years ago. The reality was that my writings were a way for me to form a coherent identity when I talk to people. A large focus on my career is mentoring, and so this was a stepping stone. Now, I just teach in the moment as things happen.

• hef19898 7y ago
  I write about logistics and supply chain topics at greenleaves.io. The first, loose article series about Vendor Managed Inventory and consignment stock is done. Lately, I'm not as fast in writing new stuff as I wished, so. Why is it awesome? Having a look at these things from a operational perspective is different from the pure theory. Also, why it obviously is a blog on my company website, sales leads and content marketing are at best a nice side effect. The main purpose is to give people ideas and maybe point them in the right direction. Why should people read it? Because logistics are an integral, and as is shown now, critical part of our lives. Getting a better idea of how these things works and how people in the field work, can be a good thing.

  I write about strategy in (mostly Blizzard) games. I think players who read HN might enjoy my blog. I have been somewhat disappointed with most of what I read on reddit or similar---I see a lot of what's out there as "the strategic equivalent of jQuery," if that makes sense, a lot of hacks that don't cohere well together. I tend to appreciate the same things in strategy that I appreciate in code: simplicity, efficiency, cleanliness, conceptual clarity. Much of my blog is about "refactoring your thinking" to get closer to those ideals. Overall it has been immensely satisfying, and I've seen the same benefits you tend to see with well-refactored code---a sense of order and easy control. I can play Protoss in such a way as to "force" a vulnerability to DT's, I can take a micro tactic and tell you how (or whether) it changes things at scale, and I can pick a trope and "compile" it to strategy so that it will be effective in-game. There's also a strong focus on Overwatch teamplay, drawing from system dynamics, control theory, and game theory.

  https://greaterdanorequalto.com/ https://greaterdanorequalto.com/ I mean, the name's pretty good, I think, so you should at least read the name. But I realized that a lot of things that I take as common sense in the realm of programming and entrepreneurship are actually hard-won knowledge that I've gained from being immersed in those subjects for a a couple decades. I started the blog last year focused mainly on the entrepreneurship side, specifically focused on trial-to-paid conversion, thinking I'd just write about that niche, but I've since broadened my subjects, since I know and care about a lot more than that, and I didn't want to limit myself.

• jldugger 7y ago
  I don't blog for the subscribers; I don't have a newsletter you should sub to so I can advertise my consulting biz. Blogging is something of a personal time sink for posting during times of underemployment, and I imagine you can see that in the publication dates. I journal things so that I can stop thinking about old ideas, and polish up the good ones for publication so that people the PageRank gods direct my way can share their related new ideas. My audience is really Google, rather than any community of subscribers. Reviewing the average time since last post metrics in the Coders folder of my RSS reader, it seems I'm not alone. A lot of people blog perhaps once a year, which is why the aggregation is useful. I often blog as a form of longer lived documentation for ideas shared on social media. I'll take some of the more inspired posts I've written up on StackExchange or Reddit and repost on my own blog. As I write this I realize I could polish up a few book reviews. In large part my goal is to reduce my role as a digital peasant, generating content for someone else to monetize. I also blog as a low effort low cost homelab. Learn how to write CSS, learn how to use Jinja templates, learn how to write Chef and Terraform. Learn how work within constraints, to optimize results without straying beyond the free tiers. Learn how AdSense works, how referral systems work. The blog provides a platform for motivated experimentation, so even though I have yet to get my AdSense check, it's proved valuable as a professional experience. It's also an exercise in hubris. I found out last week that my blog had been offline, and that system that I had set in place for monitoring that was also offline. Pingdom cancelled their free service and it seems I ignored their warning emails. And it seems that Chef, which is responsible for keeping services up, itself stopped working, presumably due to memory pressures from working within the free tier. A self inflicted wound really, since I know this happens and chose to live with the consequences.

  I’ve been blogging at https://NeoSmart.net/blog/ https://NeoSmart.net/blog/ for fifteen years. I started off with whatever strikes my fancy and had no problem posting frivolous one or two paragraph posts but as it gained popularity I found myself raising the bar for what qualifies as a good enough post until I can’t post more than once a month or so, and posts have gone up in length and substance exponentially, especially when you take into account that now a blog post is typically associated with an entire new project or github repository. I believe I’m victim to whatever is the opposite of a niche effect. My posts tend to be deeply technical but span hardware, software, security, .NET, rust, C++, Windows, Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, and more so I never really got the opportunity to pick up readers in one, single niche or domain. I miss the old days.

It's fun for me, though. Helps document ideas and helps a couple junior dev friends I mentor grasp concepts that otherwise take a while to wrap one's mind around.

  https://medium.com/@corporatebullies https://medium.com/@corporatebullies I've been documenting aggressive brand protection practices by various companies, and also general e-commerce commentary. Only have two posts so far but intend to continue along similar lines when I have more time. I've got a post planned explaining how one of the top 5 Amazon seller's primary business model is getting rid of other sellers and raising consumer prices. This kind of behavior is shockingly common across the industry. Disclaimer: I do have an agenda and have been involved in some of the cases mentioned. I've also done extensive research, reading through hundreds of court cases, talking to many of the people involved in those cases, and am getting ready to publish further exposes. I'm not unbiased, but I am well researched. I did the research originally for my own legal case and felt it was interesting and important enough to start sharing.

  https://blog.torchnyu.com/ https://blog.torchnyu.com/ And no, you should not read it if you're a professional developer. The point of this blog is to give info that any professional would think is patently obvious, but also not common knowledge for CS students. I spent my first few years complaining about the mediocrity of my school's CS majors. I'm hoping that by writing these posts at least one or two people can be more prepared for real world software development.

  https://www.taniarascia.com https://www.taniarascia.com I’ve been blogging about 5-6 years now on a regular basis - just all sorts of tutorials on web development, frameworks, cs, devops, whatever I’m learning at the time. I’ve also written for a bunch of publications like DigitalOcean and make a lot of open source side projects, so there’s plenty of quality content. But it’s pretty much all JavaScript/Typescript/Node.

    Hey great looking blog! I'm the same stack as you pretty much and I've been thinking about blogging for a while about the same stuff! Any tips on getting started? Also seems like you've leveraged your blog into other opportunities, would love to hear tips on that as well.
    • floppydiskette 7y ago
      Yeah, it has certainly made it pretty easy to find jobs and opportunities. My biggest tip is to just always keep track of what you’re learning as you learn it. Learning Docker? Write down each command that successfully does what you want. Keep track of setbacks. By the time you learn it, you now have all the resources to make an extremely useful article for someone else. Also, try to create something from start to finish - a working tutorial, and list all prerequisites. If you’re writing a tutorial, that is. That’s what I’m best at, I’m much worse at writing opinions. Most of all, don’t be afraid to put anything out there.

• RandallBrown 7y ago
  https://pct.adventuresnotvacations.com https://pct.adventuresnotvacations.com In 2017, I hiked the PCT from Mexico to Canada and kept a journal. Being a software developer, I wanted an easy way to keep a blog up to date so I cobbled something together using Jekyll, Github Pages, and a custom built iPhone app. The iPhone app would build out the general markdown structure for the post and allow me to easily choose and add photos. Then it would send the markdown file and the images to a git client I bought for the iPhone. This let me blog offline in the wilderness, writing several posts at a time and when I got into a town with cell service or wifi, I just had to "git push" and my blog would be automatically published. I've been considering building it into a "real" app for the last few years but haven't gotten around to it. Thinking about doing another long hike in the next year or two, so maybe by then I'll get around to it.

  https://b.nfd.moe https://b.nfd.moe Over the past several months/years, I've usually gone around in my life with a notebook on my person. Some of these notes/lingering ideas seem like things about which I should go write essays.

I've got some ideas for both more-of-that and not-that. You should read it because I'm digging into cultural issues (and probably other things) via some ideas you may not have seen before.

• ejstembler 7y ago
  https://ejstembler.com https://ejstembler.com I've had a blog since 1998, though my posting frequency has waxed and waned over the years. I use it as a partial résumé and also as outlet for my interests. Mainly, Software Engineering, Machine Learning, Data Science, Electronics, Robotics, Cooking, DIY, Cars, Travel. Last year I had a falling out with my blog host, GoDaddy. They convinced me to upgrade up a level ($3xx). Though when their site transfer service didn't work they said they'd have to charge me another $150 to get the back-up. That's when I cancelled all of my accounts with them. I didn't like WordPress/PHP anyhow. In my haste to cancel GoDaddy, I forgot to export my content from WordPress. That's when I slowly starting writing my blog from scratch using Crystal, Kemal, and Bulma. Some of my content I was able to retrieve via scraping the Internet Archive, and some I was able to extract from Mars Edit by parsing the Content.plist files. I'm very happy with the blog code and utilities I wrote, it was a fun exercise. Now I need to dedicate more time to writing...

  https://carlmungazi.com https://carlmungazi.com I read the source code of popular libraries and frameworks and write about what I find. It's very React and JavaScript focused because those are the tools I use daily in my current job.

  https://filipesilva.me/blog https://filipesilva.me/blog It's only a month old, so no big backlog to roam through. I don't think it's awesome yet, I don't want to have peaked at two posts, but I'm trying to give it all on every single thing I write. I'm going to write about teams, software, and how to get the first to the best of the second. Or not, I'm just trying to see where this takes me. Definitely a human being though.

  I'm the founder of https://kontxt.io https://kontxt.io which is an integrative micro blogging platform that clones websites and converts PDFs (and most other documents since they can be converted to PDFs) to websites that's enhanced with real-time collaboration including highlights, comments, polls, @mentons, speedy navigation, etc. It lets you save, share, and respond to articles in context. The collaborative technology can also easily be added to any website or blog, too! I'll soon be adding search, a public feed like Twitter for discovery, and a way to extract and use highlights across articles. Check it out and let me know what you think.

  https://radoncnotes.com https://radoncnotes.com I am an Oncologist with an active blog (I usually post one post per day); link to most interesting articles and prefer to explore the intersection of technology and healthcare. I also make my disdain for academic publishing, a regular feature. Besides, I aim to educate my colleagues on digital workflows. I also air my opinions on AI/ML (if I find anything interesting) and also include a mixed bag of policy/opinion/rarely a long form. I hope you find it useful. (You can sign up for the WordPress generated generic email that would notify you about the new post; alternatively, RSS feeds). I have a companion Twitter account (radoncnotes) wherein you can follow the hashtag #read for the best links on the Internet.
• glennedley 7y ago
  In 2004 I started sending a short MondayMotivator to everyone I came in contact with. I asked permission to do so via email. It achieved two things, kept me top of mind with prospects and customers and made sure I started the week well. I didn’t miss a week for over 10 years. Went on hiatus for a bit and then relaunched it when I felt my writing discipline had slipped. You can read them at http://glennfromspike.com/blog/ http://glennfromspike.com/blog/.
