Re: You should make a blog!
#2I have been meaning to write an article on my first experiences with Rust and embedded development, coming from a JavaScript/TypeScript background or my experiences in switching from Windows to Arch or Vim as of late, but I feel somewhat discouraged from writing, as if it might lack quality. Do you have any tips on overcoming this feeling?
It's a shame, because I see a lot of value in writing down one's thoughts, e.g. more easily noticing gaps in knowledge of a subject.

Writing takes practice like any other skill. When I go back and read my earliest blog posts, it's a total cringefest. A stumbling start is nothing to be ashamed of, and is a requirement for a strong finish.

#4I need to update my blog. I was using Advent of Code as a way to jump back into it, but life happens and I haven't been able to keep up with the problems and the write ups and life.
I do love this list as an opportunity to find some new blogs to read!
I will list mine here in an effort to not be a wuss and for anyone who also likes collecting interesting blogs.. though I wouldn't categorize mine as interesting yet.

#5Drew: unrelated question having just read your software distribution post and noticing you use Alpine - have you tried NixOS? What does Alpine have (or lack that others have)?

#6As much as I'd be greatful for being paid to start a blog, I'm not sure what the point of it is. Aren't there like a bazillion blogs out there already that are absolutely desperate for traffic.
And on the other hand, as a consumer of such information, I find it harder and harder to find original indie blogs. I'm still looking for a good blog search engine that allows me to find blogs on Niche topics. does anyone else have this problem? or is it just me? the best i can usually find is something on quora.

Are you only interested in blogs from people with and about technical skills, or is any focus tech related all good?

I thank bloggers for all the times I've had tech problems that I wouldn't have solved had it not been for them writing up their experiences.

Maybe the idea is to crowd out all the click farms with stuff with actually decent quality?

I evaluate them on a case-by-case basis.
