Ask HN: Best Blog for Programming

Ask HN: Best Blog for Programming

I find myself time after time wanting to write a programming blog, but being turned off by the options. Normally I would write one myself in tornado, django, sinatra, ruby-on-rails and then waste all of my blogging time programming the actual blog!

Requirements: - markdown - gists - simplicity

Seems like tumblr and posterous support markdown, and posterous supports gists to boot. I've tried both but neither really stuck. Both had confusing "social" aspects all over the place (wtf are posterous spaces) and cumbersome admin interfaces.

Does anyone have a solution that they actually love? I'm leaning towards giving both a chance again, or just writing something with sinatra[http://www.sinatrarb.com/].
