Agree with the title. Strong disagree with every bullet point. Those bullet points are seemingly true for the authors blog. But they don’t have to be true for yours! Blogs are superior to conferences imho. A decent blog post will get about 10,000 views via HN/Reddit/Twitter/etc. A conference will only have dozens to hundreds of attendees. I only make a few posts per year. I mostly avoid hot takes. Most of my posts I could have turned into conference talks. But conferences are kinda gross and blog posts are better so meh.
