Blogroll

A (partial) list of blogs I like and consistently read. You can follow all of them through the magic of RSS.

The list is sorted randomly, expect for my favorites wich are pinned.

This site is just a fantastic example of web design: it’s fast, aesthetically pleasing, and fully accessible. It features a lot of charming CSS animations while not moving the page too much. It has a real personal touch, especially with its procedural ‘pixel banner’ at the top and bottom of the page while not being gimmicky.

On this blog, you will find a lot of good guides for CSS and Svelte, as well as various things about frontend and development in general.

What I like about this blog are the “down the rabbit hole” and “neet peaky” articles, like Hardest Problem in Computer Science: Centering Things and The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Must Know About Unicode in 2023 (Still No Excuses!).
Filipo Valsorda words.filippo.io
A great reference to learn more about cybersecurity and more specifically cryptography.

Another example of great website design, what a beautiful landscape! Just try to click on the little light bulb, it’s so cool!

Not a blog exactly and more of a digital garden but heck i still put in the blogroll.
Simon Hørup Eskildsen sirupsen.com
A lot of very advance discucions on scaling relational database. Most of it I will probably never need to apply but none the less interesting. I recommand reading Careful Trading Complexity for ‘Improvements’ about the perceived trade-off of complexity for scalability and reliability. I also realy liked When To Write a Simulator wich made me realise that I was building a load balancer based on probably false assumption because instincts suck when it come to statistics.

A great blog about low-level and embedded programming. The author works at 0xyde and is one of the creators of Hubris, an OS designed for “32-bit microcontrollers with region-based memory protection and kiB to MiB of RAM and Flash”. I really like the detailed blog posts about Hubris and it always makes me want to try my hand at an embedded system, it’s not on my roadmap yet, but one day it will be!
Troy Hunt troyhunt.com
Troy Hunt, if you don’t know him, is the guy that run have i been pwned?. His blog is a good place to follow the cybersecurity news and learn about latest breaches.

Found this wonderful blog while searching for a tmux config guide guide and immediately fell in love with its amazing header design. Actually, I liked it so much that I decided to replicate it myself.
Len Falken's Writing len.falken.directory
The only blog I know about that is based on actual plain text files, no styling at all. Don’t be suprise if the links don’t work and need to be copy-pasted, it’s actual text files, not html.
