Hacker News with Generative AI: Blogging

Failed Backup Server Build (wordpress.com)
When you read my blog articles and stuff – you may get the idea that everything I do – just happens to be right and that I succeed at every attempt. This article is here to remind you that I also often fail trying to do what was suppose to be great ‘on paper’ before doing it. Some call it experience … but the problem with experience is that you get it just after you needed it.

Planetfall (wordpress.com)
Gentle readers, I have just wrapped up a fun side project that will be of great interest to a very small number of you. The result of one of the most technically demanding efforts of my career, I am very pleased to share it with you.

How to title your blog post or whatever (dynomight.net)
So you’ve made a thing. I’ll pretend it’s a blog post, though it doesn’t really matter. If people read your thing, some would like it, and some wouldn’t.

Create Missing RSS Feeds with LLMs (glek.net)
It used to be that blogs all had RSS feeds. Somehow there are more blogs than ever before, but some people do not bother with setting up an RSS feed.

Crémieux, J'accuse (dynomight.net)
I don’t know how to internet, but I know you’re supposed to get into beefs. In the nearly five years this blog has existed, the closest I’ve come was once politely asking Slime Mold Time Mold, “Hello, would you like to have a beef?” They said, “That sounds great but we’re really busy right now, sorry.”

Why I Blog and How I Automate it (2023) (ryanwwest.com)
I’m interested in consuming information in order to create new information (one of my motivations for pursuing a Ph.D.). I generally read articles/papers or watch videos, and then create papers/articles/code and have discussions as a result.

RSS/Atom feed best practise (kevincox.ca)
These are some technical tips for publishing a blog. These have nothing to do with good content, just how to share that content. The recommendations are roughly in order of importance and have rationale for why they are that important.

Ask HN: Do you still self-host a blog? What's your publishing stack? (ycombinator.com)
Question says it all - I'm curious what the state of the art is for a community like HN (that, intuitively, wouldn't just start an eg. Substack).

How to write blog posts that developers read (refactoringenglish.com)
I recently spoke to a developer who tried blogging but gave up because nobody was reading his posts. I checked out his blog, and it was immediately obvious why he didn’t have any readers.

Why I choose Lua for this blog (andregarzia.com)
This blog used to run using with a stack based on Racket using Pollen and lots of hacks on top of it. At some point I realised that my setup was working against me. The moving parts and workflow I created added too much friction to keep my blog active. That happened mostly because it was a static generator trying to behave as if it was dynamic website with an editing interface.
