#182It's largely focused on distributed systems and databases for now, but that's subject to change.
I have some deep dive posts like this: https://timilearning.com/posts/data-storage-on-disk/part-two... - where I write dig deeper into a particular topic, in this case: how databases work.
I also have posts like this one: https://timilearning.com/posts/ddia/part-two/chapter-9-2/, where I just share the notes I took while reading a book or watching a video. I've posted my notes from the first 9 chapters of 'Designing Data-Intensive Applications' by Martin Kleppmann there.
My goal is mainly to think more clearly about the things I learn by writing about them, and then share that knowledge with whoever finds the topics interesting.

#184The awesomeness factor isn't really there yet I think, I'll see if I can fit that in there sometime :)
You should read it if you like occasional stories from a gamedev/sysadmin/entrepeneur I suppose?
I mostly write it for myself and try to cater it to atleast someone that would find it interesting.

#189Earlier quoted context omitted.
There's dev.to, which is like Medium for tech writers.
For me, part of the excitement is to see personal blog sites. So anything like Medium, dev.to, InfoQ, DZone, etc. is not really what I was getting at. It would have to be a link aggregator like HN that either has an army of editors, a disciplined community that flags invalid posts, or a technical way to filter for personal blogs.
Some of the best tips and techniques that I’ve learned, have come from "scruffy" Medium posts.
My own presentation tends to be highly-polished, but that’s because I’ve been writing all my life (never professionally). Not many folks read my writing, but it’s something in which I take some pride, so it comes across in a fairly slick manner.
