Hot damn, if I'm communicating less value than corporate tech blogs there really is no hope for me.

("You keep mention your product from the start over and over" - I don't think that's fair, I mention Datasette Agent once at the start to set the scene but I spend more time talking about AgentsView than my own projects in the bulk of the piece.)

A lot of people find real value in my posts. You're an outlier here.

I care a lot about not wasting people's time. I never want to post anything where a substantial portion of readers come away regretting having spent their time reading it.

(OK there's an exception in that I delight in posting photos of birds on my blog, but I figure those are pretty quick for people to skip over if they don't like photos of birds!)

Your content is similar to those on Reddit that post things to karma farm. Parent commenter is not an outlier here. It’s just that dissenters rarely comment or even browse HN anymore due to the low quality posts.

I try very hard to provide more value than karma farmers on Reddit. If I'm failing at that I'd appreciate examples of others who are doing a better job so I can learn from them and do better myself.
