I guess Jepsen is useful and stuff, but the _really_ important contributions are the "interviews": https://aphyr.com/posts/340-reversing-the-technical-intervie

I really appreciate Aphyr for being one of the only people I've seen to fully integrate their entire selves into their public persona and accomplish success. The Jepsen reports on any given system are effectively canonical documentation for a product, and Kyle's work and writing on concurrency overall is fantastic. At the same time, there's no "suit and tie" Aphyr out there - you read the blog, you get the weird; you follow them on social media, well, you get the Full Aphyr. I respect that they've been willing to put their whole person out there and have been so goddamn good at what they do that they've been successful at it - it's genuinely inspiring.
