Re:Ask HN: Why do you write engineering blogs? on Friday August 11, 2023 @11:41AM (#37089964)
Not sure I qualify as 'high quality talent'....but I have rarely read an engineering blog where I didn't think, "It would be fun to work there."

To be fair, if the culture is disfunctional I'm not sure that anybody is blogging about it, and I doubt they pick dumb mistakes and bugs to blog about. "After three days of troubleshooting DNS, and a two hour blamestorming session, we checked the logs and there was a leading space. Don't be like us, kids."
