No reason to read it, I post quite rarely and just about any (usually technical) things that come to my mind. Most people find it from a search engine when searching for help with different things. My most viewed blog post is about a version incompatibility between PuTTY and OpenSSH. :) I do have a couple of longer post ideas hanging around the back of my mind, but there's just so much else to do in life. The eternal struggle.

Currently I'm writing... the blog engine, again. I'm moving it to a new server and decided I'd bump the deps and freshen up the technical side of the frontend. It's made with Elixir and the Raxx framework, but it's not an example of clean code practises, more like a testing ground.

You should read my series on writing fight scenes (from the perspective of a fight director) ... if you have any interest in that sort of thing. The rest of my blog is hit or miss, no pun intended. Mostly stuff about the writing process in general and mine in particular.

Great thread! I sometimes wish there was a variant of Hacker News that only had blog posts written by individuals.

Mine is https://tkainrad.dev

I think you should read my blog because I invest a lot of effort into my posts. Not sure why I do that, as there is no reward except growing Google Analytics numbers.

My three most successful articles have been

- Managing my personal knowledge base: https://tkainrad.dev/posts/managing-my-personal-knowledge-ba...

- Setting up a Linux Workstation for Software Development: https://tkainrad.dev/posts/setting-up-linux-workstation/

- Using Hugo, GitLab Pages, and Cloudflare to create and run this Website: https://tkainrad.dev/posts/using-hugo-gitlab-pages-and-cloud...

For the past couple of months, I have been working on a side project that uses Django, VueJS, and has to do with the use of key combinations. So in the future, you can expect technical posts about these technologies and posts about this domain.

https://blog.paulhankin.net I don't think everyone should read it, because it's quite technical. There's articles on mathematics, game-theory, and computer science. The highlight (in my opinion) is a series of articles on Fibonacci numbers, with relatively novel content: https://blog.paulhankin.net/fibonacci/ , https://blog.paulhankin.net/fibonacci2/ , https://blog.paulhankin.net/fibonacci_doubling/ The first two in…

If you like programming puzzles, I also recommend trying to write the littlemancomputer programs listed on this blog entry: https://blog.paulhankin.net/littlemancomputer/

They are fun in the same way as TIS-100 is fun, and especially the last couple (generate primes, sort input) are interestingly difficult.

I’ve started it recently and I’m writing about computational statistics and programming-related stuff. The idea is to write things that I would have liked to read about (I do computational stats, and also like web development).

So far I’ve written about a goodness of fit test for MCMC code, a D3 visualisation for the gypsy jazz scene around the world, and a classic “how to implement natural numbers from scratch” in OCaml.

I built an aggregator of developer and engineering blogs a while back. If you are interested checkout https://diff.blog.

Developers, if you are blog is not listed there, feel free to create an account and submit your blog :)

You should read it if you are interested in programming and product things in general - so frontend, backend, and design the stuff. That's what I write most about.

But I also want to publish more in-depth tutorials like the DigitalOcean guides or career-tips.

Nice to see these sort of posts popping up on HN. I've been enjoying HN the past few weeks - a lot of community related posts and engagement. Honestly I don't have much worth reading on my blog. But I see a lot of posts about the "best way to store knowledge" - org-mode, roam, zettelkasten, markdown etc. My blog isn't worth reading because that's exactly what I use it for. If you're looking for a way to [1] take note…

I really like the design of your page!

It has very clear navigation and the side menu makes it easy to jump between posts and even get an overview of the current post. This is something a lot of blog sites lack.
