> Fly.io ... well-written technical blogs

I'm not sure I would class fly.io as well-written technical blogs. Well-written yes, technical no.

I used to think the fly.io ones were good, but having read a good few of them I've found they follow the same repetitive structure:

    - Very light on detail (fly.io blogs are carefully written to *sound* like they're giving you detail, but in reality it's all a 50,000ft view, and a lightweight one at that.  Given the length of their average blog post, they could and should do better.).
    - Constantly going off-tangent, whether randomly talking about sandwich fillings, food-types, or just a paragraph with the author's rant about how they dislike a particular technology.  The first couple of times its cute, but after that, not so much ...

Would you mind sharing specifics about the first bullet? What's the last post you read you thought could have gone deeper? We definitely want to go deep, some of our posts are better than others.

fwiw Kurt, I love reading Fly.io posts. your "globally distributed postgres" post especially[0], which had plenty of depth and no sandwhiches

tbh you seem too focused on making HN happy, makes me wonder about your focus

In his defense, HN is his target audience so making them happy is important too.

I appreciate it. I do struggle with focus. Thank you for giving me a nudge.
