Are there quality magazines still being released about programming, even if just digitally?

There are some excellent ones in German by Heise, check out https://www.heise.de/select/ https://www.heise.de/select/ There are others too, there's still a fairly healthy market for IT magazines in Germany. They also still come as print publications. The iX magazine is focused on software development. Not affiliated in any way btw.

  I am a subscriber. But wasn't the topic mostly about printed magazines? lwn.net has never been one.

There's a fantastic Japanese magazine called Software Design that is not only available digitally, but is still being physically printed. The magazine covers trending topics in programming, software development, and Linux systems administration. I always pick up a copy whenever I visit Japan. https://gihyo.jp/magazine/SD https://gihyo.jp/magazine/SD

  With respect to trending topics, it’s interesting to see “What is Clean Architecture” as the headline in mid-2023.

In Finland there's a delightful volunteer-driven computing culture and programming magazine called Skrolli and it's the only magazine I've subscribed to since the 1990's when paper computer magazines still held a meaningful place in the lives of people who were into computers. The regular issues are in Finnish, of course, but they did a couple of international editions some years ago to get an idea of what's some typical content in the magazine: https://skrolli.fi/2016.1e.illuminatus.pdf https://skrolli.fi/2016.1e.illuminatus.pdf https://skrolli.fi/2017.1e.platforms.pdf https://skrolli.fi/2017.1e.platforms.pdf

  I subscribe both to German iX mentioned in a sibling comment and to Skrolli (the latter happened to be in the mail today). Unfortunately I don't read a whole lot in either of them :( I should do more camping for longer than a battery lasts.

Communications of the ACM is pretty good and does come as an actual magazine in the mail.

  Hey this looks great. A sub as a gift for that technically-minded kid in the household.
