I've done a fair bit of web dev work in Python but I am currently building my startup (https://www.growthmetrics.io) in Go.
It is in the initial stages, but so far it has been pretty good - both as a learning experience and from a developer productivity perspective.
I've also open sourced a web app boilerplate that I extracted from GrowthMetrics' codebase - https://github.com/olliecoleman/alloy. It might be useful for people looking to get started with Go.
Here's something that has worked for me - before bookmarking, decide if the article is something you need in the immediate future (within the next couple of days) or is it something that you might need to refer to at some later date.
If it is something you need now, email yourself that article [1], send it to your kindle [2] or save it to a separate board on Trello. Delete it once you are done with it.
For the second case, use an app like Pocket or Instapaper [3].
I used Pinboard a couple of years ago but stopped using it in favor of Pocket (I can't seem to recollect the exact reason why). Pocket is great for things that I want to save for later. I have cached copies of webpages in my Pocket that are no longer online, so that is pretty neat.
Lately I've noticed that Pocket has become like a cold storage for me. I rarely ever go back to reading the bookmarks from it. I recently found a bookmarklet [1] on PH that works like Pocket but sends the bookmarks to your email instead of sending it another app. It has been working pretty well for me so far. I've been using it to send myself an email for stuff that I want to read in the near future (within the next couple of days or so) and use Pocket for saving links that I might need at some later date.
But discoverability is still an issue, I am yet to find a decent solution that can help me find new things based on my interests.
I use bookmarks a lot and I also like Chrome's handy way of managing bookmarks into folders. I just wish there were better keyboard shortcuts for creating bookmarks and automatically sending them to specific folders (e.g: Cmd + B + T will send it to 'Tech' folder).
Regarding linkrot, I think Pocket or Instapaper will solve that for your because they copy the underlying content from the page.

There was a recent discussion on HN about how difficult it is to promote a blog now (compared to a few years ago). I think this statement by Deck further emphasises the fact that independent blogs are seeing a decline in readership.
