Yes, I like it :)

I want a place that is like http://blog.kubernetes.io/

With say an editor that solicits (and backlogs topics and stories and 
such) various developers/architects at various companies and creates a 
actually human curated place for developers and technology and 
architecture to be spot-lighted.

To me personal blogs can be used for this, sure, but that sort of misses 
the point of having a place that is targeted for this (and no I don't 
really care about finding and subscribing to 100+ random joe blogs that 
I will never look at more than once). Ideally that place would not 
become `elitist` as some others have mentioned in this thread (ie, don't 
pick an elitist editor? lol).

The big desire for me is to actually have a editor (a person or people) 
involved that is keeping such a blog going and editing it and curating 
it and ensuring it gets found in google searches and is *developer* 
focused...
