I'm not a blogger and have no horse in the race, but I think you should re-evaluate a couple things on the list if you think you'd be interested in blogging. For both #1 and #2, there are dozens of static site generators that handle all of this for you automatically. Not all of them are as complicated as the big ones. You can get started with a theme in Zola in a couple hours and that can be your blog forever, with support for code syntax. For number 3, the idea is not that people will organically stumble on your blog in a search, but that you'd share it to different communities relevant to your blog post. If you're writing about F#, post it on the F# reddit. SEO spam can't really mess with you there. In fact, I feel like SEO spam is only pushed by Google, and communities tend to not engage with that content. I feel you on the extremely hostile responses, though. Without fail, any article that makes it to the top of HN has lots of people insinuating it was somehow written maliciously, even if it's just about something minor like Sum Types vs Union Types. Unfortunately the answer is to shut off your brain to the hostility but take in their counterpoints. These people likely think about nothing but code for most of the day, so even if they're well-rounded and nice in real life, their brain has temporarily narrowed the scope of their world view, and they make mountains out of mole hills
