I don't blog anymore because after some months of doing it casually every so often I realized that no one except my brother ever read it and no one was going to start unless I devoted a huge amount of energy to promoting it.
Does that mean I didn't have anything interesting to say? No. I think I had a lot of interesting things to say. It just means I'm not popular.
Likewise I don't bother posting on Hacker News or Reddit anymore because all of my posts have been mainly ignored.
Does this mean I don't know anything about new technology? How could I possibly not be aware? I read HN every single day. The last few contracts/startups I have done were with the trendiest stuff like GPT and Stable Diffusion.
You popular people don't know about me because I'm not popular. But don't confuse that with being out of touch or uninteresting. Popularity and merit aren't the same thing. Go listen to the Billboard Top 10 songs right now and tell me if you really think those are the best 10 songs in the world currently.
