Regarding the article, I write everyday and I recommend everybody journal their thoughts, feelings and ideas. At one point I used to regularly read blogs and check up on each person's websites. But I don't use a RSS reader anymore. I need to check Jeff Atwood's blog and Joel on Software and The Daily Wtf.
I started a journal in early 2010s and it's all public on GitHub. I used Wikidpad and got to over a thousand notes after reading people's comments on Slashdot. Wikidpad is a Windows based wiki software which is good but then I moved to markdown, using the GitHub interface.
When I generate an idea I like, I write it down. I got to over 450 entries. They're mostly computer software or startup ideas, they are related to a futuristic vision of computing, society, concurrency, algorithms, parallelism. They're a dream of how computers should work. How they could benefit society. There are links to it on my profile.
I enjoy reading other people's problems to generate ideas from them.
I find there is a shortage of good things to read on the internet, you kind of need to read books or academic papers for good quality things.
What happened to tech journalism of the 2000s? I enjoyed the era of Wired, Digg, LinuxFormat, Slashdot and sites such as LifeHacker and computer magazines. The web feels more fragmented, lower in quality and less synchronized today than it did.
I think the absolute number of good things to read on the internet has continued to grow - it is just that there is so much more “bad” then there was before the barrier to entry for publication was lowered. So finding the good is harder because it is relatively less common. Also some people blame Google’s search algorithm.
