If you finally found the solution to your coding problem in a deep comment or something after having dozens of tabs open, you should write about it in your own blog.

Really. Describe the problem in your own words and the solution for it, even if the solution seems really obvious now. Doesn’t matter. Give credit and whatever, but use your own words because you will be surprised at how many people will land on it.

Write the blog post you wish you had found.

UK still won't call for ceasefire during Gaza blackout
This is because they support what is happening in the darkness
Ordinarily, I use satire even when tackling the darkest of subjects, not to mock the people who suffer but to expose the people who cause the suffering. Today, however, as we sit in the sickening silence of the Israel-imposed blackout, viewing footage of the Gaza skyline ablaze, I simply cannot write anything that resembles humour.
