This SXSW talk from Merlin "43folders" Mann and John "Daring Fireball" Gruber has become my personal north star for the moment. (Here is a transscript.)

It boils down to this: If you wanna publish something awesome on the internet, figure out what really and truly obsesses you. Then follow it. Let your desire to be awesome lead you, versus your desire for ad clickthroughs. If you succeed, then further success shall come.

This is lining up to be my guiding principle for a lot of what I hope to do in the foreseeable future.
