I don't schedule reading as it comes natural to me. I queue for reading only material I'm intensely passionate about or look forward to discovering or learning more, then finding time is easy as it's something I highly antici

Just a data point as an Android user: for me ads are a deal breaker. If an ad-supported app doesn't provide a separate paid version with no ads, or an in-app purchase to remove the ads, I just don't install the app regardless of h

My blog benefits me in two major ways. First, I use the blog as a sort of lab notebook to record notes about and experiences with my personal projects, which I reference often. Second, I post ideas I want to share so that I don't have

I wrote the linked post, I'm glad it brought up some good memories. I'd definitely buy your book.

I'm the author of the linked post, thanks for sharing your experience. I'm curious what you preferred of the Interlisp environment over the MIT world.

Ooh! is a general directory. If you're interested in programming or tech try a blog aggregator such as Planet Python https://planetpython.org or Planet Lisp https://planet.lisp.org which provide some curation.

It's difficult to make recommendations as the field is vast and every major technology, such as programming languages, computer architectures, or operating systems has its own history and I'm not familiar with general histories of

Study also the history of computing. It's a really powerful tool for gaining a deeper understanding of computing technolgies, how they work, and why they work that way.

Looks like this is what the Carrd developer is doing.

For me it's easy as programming is only a hobby, not my day job. Instead of using different tools and setup, try picking different projects or domains you love. For example, if you're a web developer by trade you may write compile

I'm a fraid I have more niche tech interests, so I'm unable to advise on sources similar to the ones you indicated. However, an effective discovery tool I ordinarily use is to browse the archives of the blogs of interesting storie

Just click links, on Twitter or otherwise, and explore the open web. Read blogs, subscribe to newsletters, download ebooks.

Not concise, but the manual of the COHERENT Unix clone, developed by Mark Williams Company between the 1980s and the early 1990s, is what made me grok Unix: http://www.nesssoftware.com/home/mwc/manual.php

It depends on your interests, mine are tech-related. Hashtags are good discovery tools on Mastodon, for example I monitor #retrocomputing for retrocomputing and homebrew computer projects. This and further exploration led me to these accoun

Nothing fancy: blogs, newsletters, Mastodon. The trick is to use non-algorithmic platforms or aggregators with chronological feeds that deliver ALL the entries from ALL the sources I follow or subscribe to. As indoorskier noted, clicking li

For my hobby programming and other tech projects, to record my learnings I use a traditional blog hosted at a low-friction blogging platform. I post frequently but not always daily. These posts report on my experiences, the issues I face, t
