I take it that you are referring to the tech world. Then Richard Gabriel (https://www.dreamsongs.com/ https://www.dreamsongs.com/) and Gerald Weinberger come to mind first. Joel Spolsky wrote quite a few interesting essays.
If you are not just referring to the tech world, then there is an awful lot out there. Start with Montaigne, maybe, and work your way forward chronologically.
- JonathanBeuys 5y agoI am totally not referring to the tech world! Every aspect of life is interesting. But each text should be bring some new perspective or clarity on some aspect of the world. What is great about PG is that he clearly states what his essays are about. Example: "A Plan for Spam - I think it's possible to stop spam, and that content-based filters are the way to do it". This is the type of writing that draws me in and makes me happy.
