I too wish there were more "fun" blogs out there, however I do see a good amount of dev's who keep a fun/techy blog. There have been a handful of services over the last 2 decades that made it quick and easy to spin up a blog (geocities, blogger, medium etc) but Tumblr had the cool factor (plus the social network behind it) and really nailed the posting experience I think — Tumblr was the best chance at a Twitter competitor back in the 2009'ish era IMO.

My own project Glue[1] is taking a stab at this segment so I have vested interest in this space. Trying to marry all the various content types into a single UI experience has been a fun challenge (short text, audio, quotes, code snippets, blogs).
