Worth highlighting here: Stripe also publishes a software engineering magazine called Increment [1] that puts out some really high-quality articles -- on a different level than any of your standard "corporate eng blog" kind of stuff (and I love those!).
They focus their issues on different engineering topics: May 2021 was "Containers," August 2020 was "APIs," Feb 2019 was "Internationalization," you get the idea. Can't recommend it enough. Worth scrolling through the topics to one that hits close to your interests.
Nearest to my own heart is the "Frontend" issue [2] -- every article is fucking fascinating, and one of my favorites is a deep dive from Evan You, the author of Vue, about the decision to do a full rewrite for Vue 3.
I am endlessly impressed by the quality of writing that comes out of Stripe.

- zrail 5y ago(disclaimer: Stripe employee, not on the Increment or Press teams but have contributed as a technical reviewer) I also love Increment dearly. In case you missed it, the recent Mobile issue was the penultimate issue. https://mobile.twitter.com/IncrementMag/status/1432799936488345604 https://mobile.twitter.com/IncrementMag/status/1432799936488...
- rpadovani 5y ago> the recent Mobile issue was the penultimate issue. Nooo :( I'm glad they will do the collector box tho, I think I will take one!
- pm90 5y agoWhy are they shutting it down? Is it spinning out as an independent thing?
- wdb 5y agoI wish they would in-depth write about how they handled API versioning at Stripe (e.g. docs, code wise etc) :)
- cambaceres 5y agoI love the illustrations in Increment. Do you know where I can purchase illustrations like these?
- masterof0 5y agoThank you, I didn't know about increment.
- strawberrysauce 5y agoAny idea what CMS increment uses? Their site is very lightweight and served from S3, but I'm curious how they might be generating it.
- tomovo 5y agohttps://cmsdetect.com https://cmsdetect.com says it's Contentful.
- qualudeheart 5y agoSounds like a Palladium Mag of software engineering. Much love for publications like that. We need more long form and high quality publications. I posit a stack consisting of Substack posts, quality magazines, academic papers as the optimum knowledge supply.
- subsubzero 5y agoI am not surprised in the least, I think extremely highly of Patrick the CEO as he is very well read and imo is probably one of the most rounded leaders in tech. Just look at his booklist: https://patrickcollison.com/bookshelf https://patrickcollison.com/bookshelf I assume this thoughtfulness matriculates down the organization where these high quality write ups originate.
- B1FF_PSUVM 5y ago""" The Outbreak of the Peloponnesian War Hardcover – August 31, 1969 by Donald Kagan (Author) Kagan takes issue with Thucydides' view that the war was inevitable, that the rise of the Athenian Empire in a world with an existing rival power made a clash between the two a certainty. """ That's impressive. People pay too little attention to the matrix that's been popping out copies all these centuries.
- toppy 5y agoThe list is impressive although Patrick himself admits to read only half of it.
- dcchambers 5y agoWow I am so sad I am just learning about this now - and finding out it's ending this year.
- taylorhou 5y agojust spent $230 for all issues to date T_T
- nindalf 5y agoI was about to, but they mentioned they’re releasing a collector’s box set of 19 issues in November. I figure if I’m paying international shipping I might as well wait.
