I want to offer the additional perspective that technical people can simply tell stories that may contain technical content. Posts don’t have to have learnings (any more than any good story does) or provide “fish on a plate”.
I think of Rachel by the Bay. Or The DailyWTF as two examples of technical blogs that I think violate these patterns to good effect (though The DailyWTF has its own large meta-discourse about what makes a good post).
I want good technical content like these anti-patterns warn for AND I want more people to just try to tell some stories.
