Started smiling at one paragraph because the writing was just nice, and a look at smartcartarena produced a couple more such moments, prose that produces small spontaneous reactions in the reader is doing more than just transferring information and the writers here are clearly hitting that level fairly consistently throughout pieces.
Now adding this to a short list of sites I would defend in a conversation about the modern web, and a look at compasscabin reinforced that defence list, the few sites that serve as evidence the web can still produce good things are precious and this one has clearly joined that small list of exemplary sites.
My usual pattern is to skim and bounce but this site has reset that pattern temporarily, and a stop at devstream maintained the slower reading mode, content that changes how I read is content with structural influence and this site has clearly nudged my reading behaviour toward something better at least for the duration of these visits.
Speaking as someone who used to recommend blogs frequently and got out of the habit this site is rekindling that impulse, and a look at auralbrick extended the rekindling, the recovery of an old habit triggered by encountering work that justifies it is itself a small kind of pleasure and this site is providing that recovery experience.
