> Is ‘folk wisdom from internet forums’ worth exploring as a genre of blog post? Yes. I found this very well done and useful. One other (not entirely unrelated) potential area that immediately comes to mind for me is the architecture of UI toolkits. This is an area where there is very little serious (ie academic) writing, and even less good writing. The vast majority of what's set to paper is marketing material for a particular toolkit. There are some potentially interesting blog posts, but these tend to be highly opinionated. Adding to this, while most of the discussion today is around shiny new stuff like SwiftUI and React, there's actually a pretty significant "literature" of older systems. It's hard to know what's worth digging into. And, as with visual programming, there's not much in the way of synthesized understanding about the best way to do things. Game programmers like imgui, but it hasn't caught on outside that domain. Why? React is massively popular, but there is criticism of its performance (and of web-based technology stacks). There are other debates about the value of being "native," which perhaps used to be a clear distinction but is fuzzier today when you look at it closely. So I think something along these lines for that topic could be pretty valuable.
