For me the barrier has been that I've never gotten around to setting the blog up. Often having ideas for (I think) a good post, but don't have the blog to post it to. Some of them get noted down in case I ever do.
I do intend (as in, have been particularly intending recently) to do it, because I think then I would find it lower effort, I would do it, and that I would like that. We'll see, the list of things I've intended to do is long!
I particularly like the style of (others') blog where you dive semi-deep on something semi-obscure to fix or do something, perhaps it's not your usual area, and then write up a nice explainer for the next searcher, or a note to self for the future. Explain it to someone who's never understood it before, while you still remember that perspective.

I'd suggest a regular repo, but GitHub block search engine crawlers from indexing anything other than the README.md file - so Gists are weirdly better for publishing content.
