I also think Python is a bit better. (Though, unlike you, my programming skills are directly tied to my livelihood, so it benefits me if one language can cover as much ground as possible. Being locked into a specific domain just narrows the number of jobs I can take on.) You're not wrong, but it makes me pretty sad that all my homepage submissions are marked as 'showdead' and no one ever sees them. Maybe my submissions would look like rubbish by your standards. But looking at it that way, there's also the gap between what people expect and what the site's filters decide.

I've got a very Clark Kent kind of a job doing very ordinary work at a university unit which is authoritative in its domain and don't talk a lot about what I do there because the last thing I want to do is have people think my opinions have anything to do with my employer (and the second to last thing I want to do is post statements to that effect!)

I code Java and Javascript by day and mostly Python for my side projects because of the practicality. I've always been the guy who can finish projects that other people couldn't by attending to the essential details that everybody else feels entitled to ignore.

As for your problem you are making the classic mistake of repeatedly posting links to your blog and nothing but links to your blog. If you were finding articles from other sources and posting (say) 10% from your own blog you wouldn't be tripping up the filters.

Sure I seem to have a led a glamourous life of enterprise sales, industrial espionage and always being ready to write and give a talk in 48 hours if a TED speaker gets kidnapped but the reality I haven't had time to fix the busted Python packages that my autoposter depends on. I am way too busy transforming into a fox when I go down the elevator and casting glamours on people and I am always tell this witch that I am the familiar of that witch (and the other way around) but on the 6th floor they have no idea who they are dealing with.
