The developer bubble.
99% of all developers had enough todo with their work, they don't have time to write shiny articles about the used technology.
This should make it clear that many great articles on many great technologies are written by a few, most of which are at an academic level and have less to do with the practice of 99%. But everybody thinks that using this tools that way is normal, it isn't.
- maccard 5y agoI don't think this is true. As a developer my job isn't just to crank out code, it often involves doing tasks that are important to the company like interviewing people, writing documentation, occasional team meetups. One of the things that's pretty apparent after spending time on HN and other forums is that these articles when well written are absolutely excellent marketing material. It makes sense for a company to allocate development resources to writing them.
