I want to write technically interesting posts like this too, but I don't know how.
My writing is mostly just tracking various internet posts to trace history. How do you create interesting posts based on personal experience like this?
lately I've been thinking about how something on reddit/hn/lobsters reminds me of an interesting moment from my career, and I write up a small reply about it, and that could conceivably also be a blog post if only I had a blog. and then I do nothing about it :) but that's definitely one way to blog; just take the effort to follow through on random inspirations like that.
another great route to follow is what julia evans does on her blog [<a href="https://jvns.ca/" rel="nofollow">https://jvns.ca/] - a lot of the posts are "hey, I learnt something new today, and here it is!". the key point is that there is no attempt at having every post be the same "weight", some of them are deep dives into a topic and some are just passing thoughts or howtos.
