It was actually a Hacker News comment that I wrote; the thread was deleted before I posted it, so I revamped it a little bit and published it, just in case it'd be something worthwhile of discussion. I'm still in the process of getting a new site launched; it's also been a handful of months since I wrote anything—my last blog, which was submitted a lot here, went offline in June—so I'm still trying to pick up what I'd developed then. My plan is to split the site into drafted articles and more polished releases, but that's not ready yet. I'm hoping within a week I'll have that. I don't think I'll be submitting it much to Hacker News, though. Even writing this much felt unnatural to me; I'm not deep enough into the stuff Hacker News is to write much that'd be of interest to the community. Hopefully I'll come up with a few things, though.

I was just thinking that I'd like to write another well-researched and thoughtful piece for my blog but just can't seem to get excited about anything enough to start one. I'd like to see more from you, if you write any. I liked the edgy tone combined with the careful analysis and think you could make it into a nice style. A couple of times in the last week a comment has made me interested enough in a reply. There was a good thread this past week on the limits of quality in software. Is total quality always a good idea? I thought about blogging about it but taking the time to work up a good narrative and then cross-checking and rewriting several times is a major pain in the ass. So kudos for following up on this.

  You could always subscribe (whoo, self-promotion!), but the stuff I'm interested in's a bit out there sometimes. I'm also trying to avoid the edge as best as I can. I wrote one thing in May that was submitted here without my wanting it to be, and a prominent blogger decided to freak out and rant about it. I'm trying to figure out how not to trip off stuff like that. Glad you liked this, though: That's what counts. EDIT: I just looked and these are the most-tracked posts from the last month, if that gives any idea of content: http://marinich.tumblr.com/post/200996589/talentless http://marinich.tumblr.com/post/200996589/talentless, http://marinich.tumblr.com/post/216821123/make-great-shit http://marinich.tumblr.com/post/216821123/make-great-shit, http://marinich.tumblr.com/post/220489097/art-school-blues http://marinich.tumblr.com/post/220489097/art-school-blues. So, as I said, it's a bit of a potpourri.
