      Slowly waking up to how much of my time is sapped by the "rant tax". I spend a lot of time writing counter-arguments to Wrong Ideas. (A small fraction of them appear on my blog... but if you think that's ranty, you should see my unpublished rants.) It's therapeutic, but...

      Yes, it does feel a bit like that. :-) ... but more research-relevant, which is why spending time on it is seductive. I'm generally not arguing against lone crackpots but against prevailing cultures/assumptions. And it fits into small schedule-gaps better than programming does.

      Will these rants eventually see the light of day? ;)

      That's the problem. I give up on a lot of them, because making a rant publishable requires being careful: doing fact-checking, smoothing off the rough/offensive edges, etc. I'm thinking of releasing some additional ones, under a "Rough & Ready Rants" disclaimer....

      You could use a pseudonym or publish to a list with limited distribution as well. I use Patreon for this and hope it's fine because approximately zero people will read Patreon posts. I occasionally convert P-posts into real posts, but I expect most P-posts won't get converted.

          This might be very silly since I started blogging in part because it seemed pointless to write HN comments since their half life is so short (as opposed to blog posts, which can sometimes be circulated for years), and now I'm writing to a medium with an even shorter half life 🙃.

          Interesting idea! Not sure anyone would pay to read my extra-ranty rants, but perhaps something similar if non-Patreon-y could work. (Or I could just suck it up and publish them anyway, lightly disclaimered.)
