Starting to think that web dev desperately needs a blog resurgence.

Web dev on social media devolves quickly into gossip but the problems we're facing can only be tackled with discourse: a community of structured and argued writing.

There are a few that do this sort of writing but─from a reader's perspective (me)─it looks like there are too few to form a community of discourse.

And most of what's on Medium are just gossip digests and rehashes of old arguments.

Decentralised, federated, long-form blogging?

Yes, please.

@h @baldur isn't that just blogging? :) I'm all for it and writing is once again on my new years list, though not exclusively web dev. There are lots of old web dev bloggers (in the vein of Jeremy Keith at adactio.com) still at it, so I assume your desire is a new wave of young devs adopt longer form thinking. Don't we all.
