I'm not sure how popular they are, but man I'm loving those tech blogs. Being informative for both in- and experienced people while still keeping enough humor so the text doesn't get dry. Hope we will see more of those.

They're usually written for a pretty niche audience of engineers who might end up working at Riot some day (please come work here engineers, we have coffee). The woman who ran, wrote, and edited the tech blog left Riot a few months back, which is why there haven't been any posts in a while. I miss her every day :'(
So you're saying that people that read the tech blog have a slightly higher chance to be hired as engineers? (I can make some very good coffee, just saying)
I wouldn't say it's a higher chance, but transparency in how we create products is certainly something that appeals to a lot of people. My brother is an engineer on Riot Direct (and also wrote this tech blog article about his work) and one of the things that tipped the scales for him to apply to Riot was getting to learn how Riot approaches problem spaces before he worked here.
did someone mention COFFEE?
WILL!
instead of coffee, I'd like to see better pay and treatment, especially for female staff
Same. Which is why I spoke at the walkout years ago and speak actively on my social media accounts about pay transparency in the games industry. And also am a woman.
