Why is this obsession with “writing”? Every second technical blog post reads like a bad attempt at fiction. To get to the gist of the content which can be fitted in a couple of paragraphs, now we have to meander through pointless metaphors, semi-relevant anecdata and manipulative rhetorical methods.
Can you expand a bit on your thesis? Any specific examples you can give that demonstrate this meandering you speak of? Do you prefer reading references with dry descriptions? If so, how do you fit those into the context of the subject or problem you are trying to solve? If possible, provide some examples of your own output, or output of the style you prefer, so we can compare.
This post seems to be about writing stories, where the primary goal might be to evoke emotion rather than efficiently convey information. Obsessing over the craft of writing seems appropriate in that context.
