It’s harder to trust the random website. There’s so much automatically generated blog spam, and on so many blogs there’s some annoying pop up about services, or even attempts to hostile takeover of the back button, or paywalls.. I don’t think user attention span is decreasing. People are preferring other long form content like youtube and podcasts. In both mediums, you have more control over the consumption of the content and nobody has figured out how to automate spamming that content out yet. |

When everybody has a software blog, then the average quality goes down. Sure, there are still some that are as good as they were in "the good old days", but finding them in the blizzard of mediocre-or-worse is a chore.
Maybe HN is the perfect place to create a curated (or at least vouched-for-by-at-least-someone-here) list of quality software blogs? Anyone with high-quality favorites they want to share?
