What’s the value of them blogging to such a small audience, when most of us see each other two or three times a year at conferences?
Probably about the same benefit as having a mailing list, except that outsiders can access it. (I have no particular opinion on how useful a mailing list would be, but it seems like an appropriate reference class.)
None of them are Gold IMO medalists, so it’s a good thing we’re not working on existential risks!
