- tehlike 9y agoStriked me as odd that this is not mentioned: http://ayende.com/blog http://ayende.com/blog one of the strongest developers in the .net world, hands down.
- nikivi 9y agoWe curate a big list of interesting blogs here : https://github.com/learn-anything/blogs https://github.com/learn-anything/blogs
- anon_dev_123456 9y agoThese lists are not useful at all honestly, just a mesh of links with no context or info why it would interest someone.
- arsalanb 9y agoYou speak for yourself, I hope. Because I (for one) found this useful.
- dchuk 9y agoGreat list! I'm going to add these to https://engineered.at https://engineered.at
- lpghatguy 9y agohttp://rachelbythebay.com/w/ http://rachelbythebay.com/w/
- swah 9y agoUsed to be http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/ http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/ but I feel like most "blogs" died at the same time. Internet too big now..
- bad_user 9y agoOr maybe you outgrew it.
- tenzing 9y agoAntirez (the creator of Redis): http://antirez.com http://antirez.com Nick Craver (lots of StackOverflow / StackExchange stuff): https://nickcraver.com/blog/ https://nickcraver.com/blog/ Coding Horror: https://blog.codinghorror.com/ https://blog.codinghorror.com/ Troy Hunt: https://www.troyhunt.com/ https://www.troyhunt.com/ Steve Yegge: https://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/ https://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/
- AshishGupta93 9y agoYou can check out engineering blogs of popular tech companies and start-ups. Here are few curated lists - 1. https://www.cybrhome.com/topic/engineering-blogs-of-companies https://www.cybrhome.com/topic/engineering-blogs-of-companie... 2. https://github.com/kilimchoi/engineering-blogs https://github.com/kilimchoi/engineering-blogs Full disclosure - I'm maker of CybrHome.
- misterdata 9y agoRaymond Chen (MSFT) - The Old New Thing https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing
- no29 9y agoThis man is a living history of Microsoft and one of the best resources for WINAPI development.
- anon_dev_123456 9y agoI like Dadgum's blog. http://prog21.dadgum.com/ http://prog21.dadgum.com/ Being an older developer (please don't crucify me he's old compared to people I've worked with), his insight is really interesting to me. I also use Stacknews to follow tools that interest me. This site aggregates articles and I can read them inline. It's like RSS on steroids. https://stackshare.io/news https://stackshare.io/news
- guffins 9y agoProg21 is a goldmine, it's a shame he's retired it.
- maremmano 9y agoI really appreciate the work of Bartosz Milewski: https://bartoszmilewski.com/ https://bartoszmilewski.com/
- ZenoArrow 9y agoFor the most part, I prefer blog/news aggregators to individual blogs. For example, I used to visit F# Weekly every week: https://sergeytihon.com/category/f-weekly/ https://sergeytihon.com/category/f-weekly/
- hestefisk 9y agoThere used to be a blog on Ruby called Sneaking Ruby through the System. It was awesome but unfortunately it stopped back in 2010 amidst the Rails craze.
- binocarlos 9y agoThe morning paper by Adrian Colyer: https://blog.acolyer.org/ https://blog.acolyer.org/
- v1n337 9y agoI love this blog! This is less of a dev blog, though, and more of a research paper blog.
- gp7 9y agohttps://fgiesen.wordpress.com https://fgiesen.wordpress.com Most of his posts end up on the first page of hn. In fact there is one right now http://nullprogram.com/ http://nullprogram.com/ makes C look fun
- deepakkarki 9y agoHey you'd probably like a project I've built - https://discoverdev.io https://discoverdev.io I've created a system that crawls 100s of engineering blogs and picks out 8-12 posts good links every day. I then tag and publish them. You may find publications you like by going through the archive!
- pkjc 9y agoInteresting project! I'm curious about how the 8-12 good links are picked. Do you do it manually out of the collected links or is it an automated process? If automated, would you mind sharing how it's done?
- mubaris 9y agoThis project is very good. Thanks :)
- deepakkarki 9y agoGlad you liked it! I do put quite a bit of work into it on a daily basis :)
- nburr 9y agoVery cool! Definitely bookmarking.
- aaronmu 9y agoSweet!

- grey-area 9y agoSecond this, lots of good posts there, along with Steve yegge's blog. They feel like postcards from the past but there are still a lot of gems. My personal favourites are: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2002/01/06/fire-and-motion/ https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2002/01/06/fire-and-motion/ http://steve-yegge.blogspot.co.uk/2006/03/execution-in-kingdom-of-nouns.html http://steve-yegge.blogspot.co.uk/2006/03/execution-in-kingd...
- grey-area 9y agoIf you use Go, you may like this link aggregator I made based on HN https://golangnews.com https://golangnews.com which has a lot of good blog posts on programming in Go.

- pruthvishetty 9y agohttp://pruthvishetty.com/bookmark#interesting-blogs http://pruthvishetty.com/bookmark#interesting-blogs (Not exactly developer blogs, but something the tech community would appreciate).
- abcd_f 9y agoOff the beaten path, but very interesting still - https://bvckup2.com/wip https://bvckup2.com/wip It's less of "blog" now, but older entries are a breadcrumb trail of the day-to-day grind of an indie Windows developer.
- znq 9y agoMost recently I'm a fan of http://devcraftweekly.com/ http://devcraftweekly.com/ which some of my employees started as a side project. It's a weekly newsletter on the "Art, Craft and Lifestyle of Software Engineering" but there's also a blog format: https://devcraftweekly.com/archives/ https://devcraftweekly.com/archives/ Have a look and check it out. Focus is on development & software engineering as well as remote work and work-life balance.
- dfreniche 9y agoAlso we accept suggestion on good blog posts. We read and curate the bests posts we find. Send quality links our way!
- znq 9y agoShameless self-promotion: our Bugfender blog https://bugfender.com/blog/ https://bugfender.com/blog/ We share technical posts about mobile development, about scaling our backend and database systems and our experience using Go. On the other end of the spectrum we also write a lot about building a bootstrapped lifestyle business without any external investment.
