I like a lot of different kinds of articles and I like to read on a variety of topics and depth level. That being said career stuff is one of the things that I seldom read, I don't find it that interesting.

But, as Javier said, you should write about what makes you passionate. Nobody wants to read a half-hearted article just because it's about the month's popular topic. Of course, it's good to do some research and find where your interests intersect with your audience's, but I think there's plenty of popular topics beyond career stuff.

For the record, I wouldn't consider things like interpersonal skills, team work, agile processes and the like to be career stuff, to me career stuff is more things like how to get your first job as a developer, becoming a senior developer, how to survive a dead-end job, this developer got a 10x raise, you won't believe what he did next, etc.
