I mostly write about tech topics and write howtos, usually for my own future reference.
However I also write about being a "digital nomad" living in an RV, and sometimes that converges with tech, e.g. (https://adriano.fyi/posts/2023/2023-04-16-att-traffic-shapin...) and sometimes even mountain biking (https://adriano.fyi/posts/2023/2023-06-12-mountain-biking-ha...).
It scratches a personal itch, and covering any topic I want allows me to do that.
Online since 2005. Lots of essays, presentations, and live coding videos. See the “best” link to get the full picture.
Mostly talking about some engineering and project management topics. Often revolves about decision-making (in a broad sense).
I started writing publicly late last year. It's been tons of effort but it's been tremendously fun and fruitful.
Some of my more-visited or favorite posts:
* A primer on Roaring bitmaps: what they are and how they work -- https://vikramoberoi.com/a-primer-on-roaring-bitmaps-what-th.... This one ended up on the front page of HN and gets hundreds of visits monthly. I wrote it because it's the post I would have liked to read instead of reading the papers themselves.
* An internship working on "Customers who bought this also bought" at Amazon 16 years ago -- https://vikramoberoi.com/an-internship-working-on-customers-.... I wrote this one as an addendum to throwaway tweet I posted that went viral.
* How I made atariemailarchive.org -- https://vikramoberoi.com/how-i-made-atariemailarchive-org/. I wrote this one when I open-sourced the dataset behind atariemailarchive.org. The dataset got featured in Data is Plural and in a podcast interview I did with Jeremy Singer-Vine.

My favorite personal blog to read this past year is Phil Eaton's (eatonphil on HN): https://notes.eatonphil.com/.
I enjoy the subject matter he posts about (a lot of systems work and research, primarily), but his other posts are great too.
His post, "Is it worth writing about?" is a nice inspirational one for folks who want to/have been thinking about writing: https://notes.eatonphil.com/is-it-worth-writing-about.html.
Just a personal blog with some essays that I post occasionally to get myself in the habit of writing. My next post will be about living with chronic illness as a SWE and how to get through it
I'm a product designer/UI engineer who's been publishing since 2009. I've probably got 200-something posts.

I've also been publishing my Year in Review for almost a decade: https://solomon.io/tag/year-in-review/
I spent several years interviewing designers, writers and people in the tech space. You can see those interviews here: https://solomon.io/interviews/
Recently started writing regularly. Have decided to focus on technical nuances and programming mental models learned the hard way, things I wish I knew in college or early career.
Here is the latest one I wrote on LLMs - https://ankitag9.substack.com/p/perspective-newsletter-3
I started a golf wiki, and I felt pretty unsatisfied with golf media, so I thought I'd start writing about some of the more analytical the stuff I was interested in.
It captures my journey between the chairs of IC, engineering manager and product manager but I've mostly written about the latter.
I'm a software developer who's been dipping his toes into making videos recently. I don't blog very often (planning on doing more soon, hopefully), but my videos are posted there as well.
I mainly focus on programming and editor workflows.
