Technical Blogs You Recommend?

61 pointserror_salad19 comments

I'm looking for technical blogs about software programming and software engineering. Mainly just for fun but also for educational purposes (broadening my knowledge horizon if you will). Maybe it's just me, but finding good content like that is somewhat difficult. Do you guys have any recommendations for blogs? At the moment I prefer blogs, but I'm also open for book suggestions. Have a nice day.

Casey Muratori's blog (everything stuff): <https://www.computerenhance.com/>

Max Bernstein's blog (compiler stuff): <https://bernsteinbear.com/blog/>

https://www.hackerfactor.com/blog/index.php Some "behind the scenes" on running an image analysis site where people submit photos to test whether they are fake.

https://jvns.ca/ I saw this one recommended on HN in the past, and it's good. She does a lot of deep-dives into various programming topics.

https://gru.gq/ grugq does good writing on opsec and other cybersecurity topics.

Love Dan Luu’s writing: https://danluu.com/

Dr. Daniel Lemire's blog: https://lemire.me/blog, covers lots of technical items on optimizations in various programming languages, Lemire's work is currently in use across a number of projects and he consistently delivers fantastic improvements, he usually accompanies these improvements with a blog post describing what he did. He also occasionally posts interesting Science and Technology links on various topics not limited to tech, but health and education as well.

https://ciechanow.ski is excellent, not really SWE focused content but it is a high quality technical blog.

https://increment.com doesn't have any new posts but I would still recommend it.

The Old New Thing: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/

Been reading it for years, lots of little interesting insights into current and historical quirks in Windows and related systems.
