I agree. However, a post like this has multiple purposes, non-the-least is a dictum about their culture and what they value.

Yes. This was a 'please come join us' post. I've been seeing more and more of these lately. Formula:
* cool tech
* long format
* looks good
* describe interesting problems
* end with link to careers pageI like this format. It feels like watching a good advertisement instead of one that just screams "BUY!". It's great because at the end of the day, there's some education, and something to be taken away. Even if that thing is a write up you can show your boss to convince her that it's a good idea to pick up some of these practices. There's some value at the end of the day so yeyy :D.
And honestly, I'd love to work for a team like this. I'm starving for a team that'll kick my ass and let me learn what it's like to work with the best practices.
Not that what I do right now is bad. Education wise though it's fairly stagnant.
Expect to continue seeing more of it.
It works, of course.
But it's also much less obnoxious than previous methods, so it also generates less bad will in the community.
Yes. I think there might be a business in there somewhere, as I wrote on my blog a year ago: http://www.mooreds.com/wordpress/archives/1502
