I actually really appreciate companies that produce research and write articles on technologies adjacent to their business. It's a great way of building trust and a community around the business' core product. Digital Ocean are a good example. Reminds me of Patrick Collison mentioning on a podcast [0] that one of the biggest drivers of new customers to Stripe in their early days was a blog they wrote on using the Python debugger.
