I recently started writing technical blog, on Medium, and I'm not "too lazy to setup a blog".

Medium provides me with things I could never achieve on my own personal website. It saves me a lot of DevOps time which I can focus on programming and actual writing. It provides me with an awesome uptime - I alone can't ever beat a flock of engineers on-call. I get a social network of readers who recommend my posts. Publications provide me with an easy way to get bigger number of readers. It's design and technical merits are outcome of years of iteration, time I would have to spend to reinvent the wheel.

It's not about being lazy, it's about having the time to actually provide good content.
