Here are some that I've been following why working on my newsletter (https://weeklyrobotics.com/ https://weeklyrobotics.com/). These will be mostly robotics oriented, and some of them might be inactive: * [Robots&Chisel](http://www.robotandchisel.com/blog/ http://www.robotandchisel.com/blog/) - a blog by Michael Ferguson, he did a very nice series of posts on restoring a UBR-1 robot and implementing ROS-2 on it * [Mike Isted](https://mikeisted.wordpress.com/ https://mikeisted.wordpress.com/) - at one point Mike was writing quite many blog posts on making drones, including some offboard control and autonomy * [The Interrupt](https://interrupt.memfault.com/ https://interrupt.memfault.com/) - in-depth blog about embedded programming. Really like their monthly "What we've been reading..." series * [Electron Dust](https://www.electrondust.com/ https://www.electrondust.com/) - inactive, but a really cool series of blog post on making a ball bouncing robot * [Casey Handmer blog](https://caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/ https://caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/) - some very in-depth articles related to space * [Modicum of Fun](https://jpieper.com/ https://jpieper.com/) - a blog post of Josh Pieper, who makes mjbots open-source motor controller Other: * [Julia's Drawings](https://drawings.jvns.ca/ https://drawings.jvns.ca/) - neat presentation of various technical concepts in programming. Unfortunately it's not active anymore.

  As for corp blogs: Engineers at Facebook [0], LinkedIn [1], Fly [2], and Cloudflare [3] have penned some incredible posts over the years. Also: IETF RFCs and research papers (esp, from Microsoft and Google) remain an under-appreciated body of work on how real-world systems are built.

    RFC's an BCP's are worth following aswell. especially if one wants to know how systems in the default free zone are build.

  - msadowski 5y ago
    I don’t have any in my RSS feed, but if you were to search for them I would try finding some describing iRobot Root or Mindstorm projects.

  I don't know, it can definitely be done-I'm doing it for my personal stuff[0] it just takes explicit effort to write about what you are actually doing.

This suggests a related question: What if Hacker News had its own "subreddits" dedicated to specific topics? I've wondered if there'd be enough of a user base to have a few smaller subsets of the larger universe of submitted links. (It could be as simple as allowing links to be tagged -- maybe with sysadmin/programming/engineering "flair", to use Reddit's terminology -- and then having a way to re-focus the front page on just that subset of tagged links.)
