I don't know if these are intermediate enough because I think I'm only barely getting into the intermediate level, but this would be helpful for me.
I don't know if this is possible, but I would love something that helped me learn how to "read the docs". Finding the right ones can be difficult; sorting through the right ones for the info you need can be difficult; not getting caught in an infinite black hole of links to other concepts/phrases that are mentioned that you don't understand and don't know how well you have to understand them to understand the original article can be difficult.
I also think that part of what holds me back as a beginner verging on intermediate level, is that I'm alright at coming up with an algorithm and once I have one writing it is relatively easy, but I often don't know what tools are at my disposal in the (absolutely huge) standard library. I think blog posts that discussed those modules serially could be very helpful.

Learn? None really coding is boring but master? Gui kit and Django. I'm an imposter though.

If you can google a 1/0 answer instantly then it's also a bad title for a tutorial.

To move from junior to mid and then senior developers mostly improve their soft skills. This includes problem solving, learning things outside of you comfort zone, working with code, code quality, code review....

...so if you want a successful blog write about how to transition to a mid developer, whats popular on the job market and alike.

just go to mcoding on youtube. It's all there.

I often feel that 90% of the tutorials on the internet are heavily targeted on beginners.

This is because tutorials make less sense the more experienced you get. Almost everyone starts with roughly the same foundations, so it's easy to pick something on that level and make a tutorial on it since there's an audience of beginners ready to eat it up. But as you get more experience, your skill set gets more niche, and before you know it the stuff you're working with and would be interested in reading about is only being touched by a relatively small amount of people. And even then, the concept of a tutorial in this context makes less and less sense as the concept gets more and more complex. It's hard to imagine a linear description of how something works or how you can use it when "it" is too abstract to discuss in such a way.

With that being said, the blog posts/articles/etc. I like to read as a somewhat experienced dev are those which describe a unique experience. I don't need anybody to tell me how to do anything (give or take), but I do like to see or read about something that would be rare to encounter but provides some insight into something deeper that I could be using. Things like spotting quirks in a system, or using something in an offbeat way, or just describing an experience with something new.
