ThoughtWorks of course... https://www.thoughtworks.com/blogs

Etsy's tech blog: https://codeascraft.com/ is excellent.

They got me on to monitoring EVERYTHING with statsd. Great stuff.

Workiva Techblog https://techblog.workiva.com/ has become a favourite of mine recently.

One of my favorite ones is Instagram's: http://instagram-engineering.tumblr.com/

Auth0 blog is pretty nice if you are into JavaScript and Security https://auth0.com/blog

Netflix is a good one. But remember most of them won't get you anywhere if you want to learn about their architectures. They are mostly used as a recruiting tool.
