It's a bit of an indicator about the effort they put into it. If they don't even write their blogpost themselves the question of "how much effort and thought did they put into the rest of their code / product".
Now, obviously they might just be bad at writing blogposts but surprisingly often it seems to be a decent red flag.
Because the thing is that the less effort you put into that the more anyone can just...reproduce the idea with their own LLM.
Even if s.o buil a cool thing and wants to share it with the world, if all they did was prompt Claude for a weekend what is stopping me from just doing it myself? Then I can even get it however I want.
Or the time they had available. Maybe they have a full time job, parents to care for, kids to care for. But still they wanted to scratch the itch.
If someone has the time and opportunity to create a robot vacuum from scratch, they probably also have the time to write a short introduction for it
I disagree. Writing became seriously unfun after the 8th year of school. Now after grad school it seems very wasteful to spend any calories focusing on the packaging of the ideas and things. Especially at a time when we have achieved the technology to not need a team of writers, editors, and typesetters to create presentations of a worthwhile quality for the actual content in a reasonable timeframe.
