Murat Demirbas, a distributed systems researcher, reflects on reaching his 800th blog post after 15 years of technical blogging. He shares why he started (to learn by writing about research papers), what surprised him (conference attendees who followed his blog, developers enjoying paper summaries, using his blog as external memory), and his most impactful posts. His advice for new bloggers: separate drafting from editing, keep a braindump file, follow curiosity, write for yourself first, and seek intrinsic motivation rather than chasing page views.
