Quoting John Gruber

Blog · Watch/Read

• John Gruber frames his blogging philosophy as akin to “playing live music” rather than “recording a studio album,” prioritizing consistent, professional output over infrequent, overly polished “hall-of-famer” posts.
• He argues that attempting to make “every post a hall-of-famer” would prevent regular publication, emphasizing that such exceptional pieces are “occasional” rather than the norm.
• The practical takeaway is to aim for “professionalism” in each post, treating it like a live performance requiring care and concentration to “hit every note,” while maintaining a flow of “moving from song to song” to ensure consistent content delivery.
