Sometimes I find it interesting and honestly other times I don't think its in depth enough to be either interesting or discussion worthy. If I found every single post of theirs interesting I would just subscribe to their blog.

Yeah, some of her articles don't add much to what I already know, but I bet other people say the same thing about articles I find really interesting, and where I like that she starts with basics.

Many (maybe "more interesting") articles about deep details of something don't get much attention because you need a lot of previous knowledge to understand what is going on, that hurdle almost never happens with her articles. Introductory articles often get more attention that way.

And sometimes I notice that apparently I didn't know as much as I thought about the details...

It's not every single post. "How do HTTP requests get sent to the right place?" have been posted on HN (because anyone can do that) but not gotten more than a couple of votes. Some, like "PolyConf 2016," didn't get posted at all.

It's fine for you not to find every post on HN interesting or discussion-worthy. There are other people who are interested and having a good discussion.
