https://matt.might.net/articles/ https://matt.might.net/articles/ Not strictly a software engineer, but a computer scientist (and so many other things), and an extremely smart person in general - worth reading even if you're not interested in academia.

  Thank you for these. I've been subscribed to Julia's blog for many years. Excellent resource.
- pcthrowaway 5y ago
  Two of my favourites, great suggestions. I was going to suggest Comeau but OP didn't mention an area of interest, and Comeau is very front-end focused.
  - mi_lk 5y ago
    and Evans is system focused
    - mulholio 5y ago
      As a non-systems engineer, I’ve found Julia’s blog immensely helpful. She does a great job of explaining a wide range of topics and also tackles soft skills very well

bottlero_cket 5y ago
Xah has written a lot of great informative and opinion content on his blog. There is like a decade of posts covering a large span of topics like math, emacs, web dev, etc. This is just one post I bookmarked, but you can link dive wikipedia-style. http://xahlee.info/kbd/keyboard_hardware_and_key_choices.html http://xahlee.info/kbd/keyboard_hardware_and_key_choices.htm...
- gaws 5y ago
  > math, emacs, web dev, etc. And sex: http://xahlee.org/sex/all_things_sex.html http://xahlee.org/sex/all_things_sex.html His Emacs-specific content is great, but the last thing I want to read are his creepy, gremlin-like takes on relationships and sex.
  - throwanem 5y ago
    I'm not a fan of his Emacs stuff, even. A lot like Ken Rockwell, I've thought - opinionated to and often well beyond a fault, will reliably defend the most recent thought to cross his mind as if it were among the bedrock axioms of his life and soul, it's not that he can't say anything useful but you always want to get a range of other opinions first, and by the time you really know what you're doing you find yourself thinking he's mostly full of it. At least Ken Rockwell can be relied upon as a quick source of high-res shots of new gear. I already know where to find the Emacs changelog, I'm not sure what purpose that leaves Xah Lee to serve.
- beepbooptheory 5y ago
  Wow! I have appropriated quite a bit of elisp snippets from them through the years, no idea they had a blog too. The emacs resources on that site are unparalled.
dgarrett 5y ago
Fabien Sanglard's blog is one of my favorites. He posts mostly about internals and implementation details of classic video/computer games, plus other tech like Git and USB. https://fabiensanglard.net https://fabiensanglard.net And if you find his blog to your liking, he has a couple of books doing a deeper dive into the internals of Wolfenstein 3D and Doom.
- cdevroe 5y ago
  omg this is awesome, thanks!
- tluyben2 5y ago
  You can buy some of his work in book form as well.
- Bishop_ 5y ago
  His series of posts on Another World and its ports are a solid read.

Unfortuntely it is no longer updating, but if you haven't read Kathy Sierra's blog this is a great time to go through the archives.

In this blog https://glennengstrand.info/blog/ https://glennengstrand.info/blog/ I implement feature identical rudimentary polyglot persistent news feed microservices in various programming languages and tech stacks then compare them with previous implementations in terms of architecture, design, coding, and performance under load. I currently have 13 implementations of that same back end service in a freely available public github repo.

> math, emacs, web dev, etc. And sex: http://xahlee.org/sex/all_things_sex.html http://xahlee.org/sex/all_things_sex.html His Emacs-specific content is great, but the last thing I want to read are his creepy, gremlin-like takes on relationships and sex.
- throwanem 5y ago
  I'm not a fan of his Emacs stuff, even. A lot like Ken Rockwell, I've thought - opinionated to and often well beyond a fault, will reliably defend the most recent thought to cross his mind as if it were among the bedrock axioms of his life and soul, it's not that he can't say anything useful but you always want to get a range of other opinions first, and by the time you really know what you're doing you find yourself thinking he's mostly full of it. At least Ken Rockwell can be relied upon as a quick source of high-res shots of new gear. I already know where to find the Emacs changelog, I'm not sure what purpose that leaves Xah Lee to serve.

In this blog https://glennengstrand.info/blog/ https://glennengstrand.info/blog/ I implement feature identical rudimentary polyglot persistent news feed microservices in various programming languages and tech stacks then compare them with previous implementations in terms of architecture, design, coding, and performance under load. I currently have 13 implementations of that same back end service in a freely available public github repo.

I'm recently unsubscribed from your RSS feed because your "blog" reads more like a Twitter feed.

This is a long shot but hoping someone might be able to help... Almost a decade back I stumbled across an excellent blog which had extremely long and detailed in-depth articles related to performance. Every article had a "hare/rabbit" mascot section similar to the "cool bear" section from this blog https://fasterthanli.me/articles/why-is-my-rust-build-so-slow https://fasterthanli.me/articles/why-is-my-rust-build-so-slo... Does someone else remember that blog? If yes, please share the link!

I'm not sure it qualifies as "great", but I am a programmer! https://xavd.id/blog https://xavd.id/blog I write about all sorts of things, some of which are technical. Here's a favorite Python article: https://xavd.id/blog/post/python-dataclasses-from-scratch/ https://xavd.id/blog/post/python-dataclasses-from-scratch/

I'll add Raymond Chen's "The Old New Thing": https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/ https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/ . Helped me change my views towards Windows (for the better) many years back and it's a good read anyway. ... and while here, I may also plug my own: https://jmmv.dev/ https://jmmv.dev/
