I agree that it could help a newbie and that's the reason why I do it by sharing my experience on HIVE and giving small "tips" on what is appreciated and what is not... I'm not giving any rules as there is no such thing, but guidelines on what is doing better...
I would say that other niche content (not HIVE related) is more appreciated at the moment... Not saying it's good or bad, just sharing my view and perception about that...
Yes, giving guidelines are always appreciative and a good work. It's good that you also share your experience about Hive.
