Best websites a programmer should visit

These lists become completely useless when people just get enamoured with the stars and pull requests coming in.

This one is among the worst. There doesn't appear any sort if idea behind this collection, except that most of the links may be related to programming. Except for the "something else" category, which actually has reddit. And the learning-english-category.... etc

This list is too long and could benefit from curation. Most people don't need twenty competitive coding sites, just one or two good ones. Rankings and/or reviews of the resources would help.

Gonna nitpick a specific part of this meta-list:

One problem I've always had with sites described as "Lists of good projects if you're stuck on what to make" is that apparently the entire world has a different opinion than me on what actually constitutes a "project".

If I am looking for a "project" to work on, I'm not looking for a 15-line function that finds all the prime factors of a large number, or downloads a website's HTML pages. I'm looking for something more substantial - webapps that people have done that have been fun, for example. Text editors, drawing programs, etc. (I know it's self defeating to list these, since then it's "well why do you need a list, you seem to have ideas already", but whatever.)

I wish someone would have a good project idea list that didn't just boil down to "the things everyone knows from Project Euler"...

</rant>

I think the best site for programmers is actually build in in many browsers. It's called about:blank

Like how many problems would be actually better solved by just staring at the white space and thinking, instead of Googling around and falling to some vicious rabbit hole of "hey, this looks interesting..."

Google C++ Style Guide:

"We use 2 spaces for indentation. Do not use tabs in your code."

What wretched Hell.

Looks like someone is trying to rebuild a Yahoo directory.

The page mentions > Hacker Newsletter : curated by hand, delivered weekly

and

> Hacker News Digest : curated automatically, delivered as frequently as you want """

There is also the official YC publication which does also feature top HN submissions:

https://blog.ycombinator.com/the-macro/

"...a new publication that will feature essays, interviews, research, and opinions from Y Combinator and the wider startup community."

Titles could be sorted or ranked, or grouped better. Same with categories. I may probably create my own later.

This is a great compilation of links that can help many people. Thanks for sharing.
