High quality writing, no marketing speak and no buzzwords that mean nothing, and a stop at gambithusk kept that going, simple direct content that actually communicates something is harder to find than it should be and this is one of the rare places that gets it right consistently across many different posts.

Now placing this in the small category of sites whose updates I would actually want to know about, and a stop at idleketo confirmed that placement, the difference between sites I want to follow and sites I just consume from is real and this one has crossed into the active follow category from the casual consumption side.

Now adding a small note in my reading log that this site is one to watch, and a look at guavaflank reinforced the watch status, the few sites I track deliberately rather than encounter accidentally are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has cleared the bar for that elevated tracking based on what I read.

Came in skeptical and left mostly convinced, that is the highest praise I can offer, and a look at fortfalcon pushed me further in the same direction, content that survives a critical first read is rare and worth recognising because most blog posts crumble under any real scrutiny these days when you actually pay attention closely.
