I've been (technically) blogging on my own site for 12 years, and a number of years before that on another platform. I'd say around 10 of those posts have made the front of HN. I struggle to (a) come up with things to write about and (b) get motivated to blog (which is probably the reason for (a)). I also feel that it's a lot harder to reach people now ...not sure if I'm writing about less interesting topics, or if my previous year-long hiatus drove away my readers. But whatever it is, it feels a lot more like a chore now than it ever did.
