This is a well-written comment from an interesting point of view. That's all you need to write a blog article. If there are things you'd rather be doing than writing a blog, do them instead, but a blog doesn't have to be an exercise in personal branding. It can just be a place where you publish your thoughts and the things you've learned.

Writing HN comments is much easier than writing blog posts because the inspiration is the story that's been linked to; for a blog post you don't have that starting point, you just have a blank page. That's a heck of a barrier for most people when they're starting out.
I've considered rolling comments I've made here into blog posts. I'm not sure if that's a fox paws[0], though.
[0] I know. I did it on purpose.

If it's insightful/interesting - why not?
It's incredibly hard to search HN comments via search engines too, but I've definitely come across comments that just made me stop and think.
Jokes are like code. If you have to explain then it's probably not very good. ;)
