You can follow all of them through the magic of RSS. The list is sorted randomly, expect for my favorites wich are pinned. ┌─────────────────────┐ ┌─┤ ♥ Josh Collinsworth ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ └─────────────────────┘ │ │ 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. │ │ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌───────────────────────┐ ┌─┤ Simon Hørup Eskildsen ├───────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ └───────────────────────┘ │ │ 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'[1] about the perceived trade-off of complexity for │ │ scalability and reliability. I also realy liked When To Write a │ │ Simulator[2] wich made me realise that I was building a load balancer │ │ based on probably false assumption because instincts suck when it │ │ come to statistics. │ │ │ │ [1] https://sirupsen.com/trading-complexity │ │ [2] https://sirupsen.com/napkin/problem-16-simulation │ │ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌──────────────────────┐ ┌─┤ Len Falken's Writing ├────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ └──────────────────────┘ │ │ 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. │ │ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌─────────────────┐ ┌─┤ Filipo Valsorda ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ └─────────────────┘ │ │ A great reference to learn more about cybersecurity and more │ │ specifically cryptography. │ │ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌───────────┐ ┌─┤ Troy Hunt ├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ └───────────┘ │ │ Troy Hunt, if you don't know him, is the guy that run have i been │ │ pwned?[1]. His blog is a good place to follow the cybersecurity news │ │ and learn about latest breaches. │ │ │ │ [1] https://haveibeenpwned.com/ │ │ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌─────────┐ ┌─┤ Tronsky ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ └─────────┘ │ │ What I like about this blog are the "down the rabbit hole" and "neet │ │ peaky" articles, like Hardest Problem in Computer Science: Centering │ │ Things[1] and The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Must Know │ │ About Unicode in 2023 (Still No Excuses!)[2]. │ │ │ │ [1] https://tonsky.me/blog/centering/ │ │ [2] https://tonsky.me/blog/unicode/ │ │ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌─────────────────────────────┐ ┌─┤ Cofessions Of A Code Addict ├─────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ └─────────────────────────────┘ │ │ A great resource for a deep dive into systems programming. As a │ │ Python developer, I especially liked the CPython internals │ │ articles[1] that explain in detail the inner workings of the main │ │ Python interpreter. │ │ │ │ [1] https://blog.codingconfessions.com/t/cpython-internals │ │ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌─────────────────┐ ┌─┤ Pete Millspaugh ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ └─────────────────┘ │ │ 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[1] but heck i still │ │ put in the blogroll. │ │ │ │ [1] https://maggieappleton.com/garden-history │ │ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌──────────┐ ┌─┤ Ham Vock ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ └──────────┘ │ │ Found this wonderful blog while searching for a tmux config guide[1] │ │ guide and immediately fell in love with its amazing header design. │ │ Actually, I liked it so much that I decided to replicate it │ │ myself[2]. │ │ │ │ [1] https://hamvocke.com/blog/a-guide-to-customizing-your-tmux-conf/ │ │ [2] https://github.com/TheBigRoomXXL/headers-like-hamvocke │ │ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌──────────┐ ┌─┤ Clifffle ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ └──────────┘ │ │ A great blog about low-level and embedded programming. The author │ │ works at 0xyde[1] and is one of the creators of Hubris[2], 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! │ │ │ │ [1] https://oxide.computer/ │ │ [2] https://cliffle.com/blog/on-hubris-and-humility/ │ │ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── The bottom of every page is padded so readers can maintain a consistent eyeline You can navigate to /awesome.txt, /blogroll.txt and /rss.xml
