I have a couple blogs, and a couple wikis, all written by me.

But, for starters, https://junglecoder.com

Why is it awesome? Because I write about things that I find _very_ interesting. Highlights include an article on Factor, a retrospective on 8 years of side-projects, and a poem about trying to debug code late at night.

Just read "On Rhetorical Devices" and liked it! Note that some of the linked pages aren't served due to GitHub Pages being temporarily down (at the time of writing of this comment).

Yep, it looks like it is back up again! And, thank you!

Main topics are web development in general, Docker, PHP and other tech stuff. I do not post regularly but try to write a new article every now and then.

Most of the articles are about very specific problems, like mirroring private repositories to Gitea or how to setup DNSsec with Cloudflare and INWX. Currently writing a guide on how to install YouTrack on Synology Diskstations.

I make JavaScript game tutorials to help people learn programming and have fun doing it. I also write about programming in general and random other stuff I find interesting.

You can find the game tutorials here: https://mitchum.blog/game-tutorials/

https://www.jefftk.com/ I write about making music, building things, software, contra dance, effective altruism, parenting, weird ideas, and anything else I think of. Posts I've written that have been popular here: * https://www.jefftk.com/p/let-people-move-to-jobs * https://www.jefftk.com/p/shared-cache-is-going-away * https://www.jefftk.com/p/how-to-parent-more-predictably * https://www.jefftk.com/p/survey-of-histo…

As a contra dancer, I'm thrilled to find this! Your Bleach blog post is also very handy, and I'm looking forward to exploring more.

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…

"as there is no reward except growing Google Analytics numbers." = there's a feeling of importance that comes with sharing the things you may know, so basically you do it for the ego (and not in a bad way).

Remember when you were first learning to code, and everything was really hard? Things didn't fit together, and understanding why one tutorial worked and another did not required reading at least 3 other tutorials?

Well, that's where I'm at with biology. I'm trying to track things that are interesting to me in order to maybe help someone else one day see the path that I walked from 0 to knowing how to do stuff.
