Andrew Binstock wrote an article on the benefits of technical web logs - both internal and external to IT organizations. There were a couple of things about the article that I really liked. For one, Andrew made a comment about Java blogs that I thought was interesting.
A separate cabal of Java bloggers exists as well, although in my opinion, it's somewhat smaller and less tightly dedicated to the technology [than .NET bloggers].
I just thought this was funny. Who knows whether it's completely true or not, tho. The second quote that I liked was this one...
...programmers recognize the value of sharing their breakthroughs and typically don't want to pollute their technical information with off-topic drivel.
I agree with this. Well, that's basically how I try to treat mine, anyway. I really hate when I see pointless “hello world” posts on mainly IT-focused weblog sites. Oh well...somehow I'll live. Speaking of useless posts...
