On: Ask HN: Are technical blogs dead?

[qup]

The few technical blogs I posted, that's exactly what I imagined -- some guy would have the same problem, find my blog, and I'd save him and his company a day or two of work.

And now they're making money on it, and that sits really well with me.

[tetek → qup]

but that some guy was reading your blog, so you were building a reputation and maybe a personal brand or position of authority on some subjects.

now, it's like you are working for free for gen-AI companies.

No, I wasn't building a reputation. My blog was pseudo-anonymous.

I was working for free already, when I posted the things.
