Recently I found Julia Evans blog, which is great read for someone wanting the have a broader knowledge of software engineering, operating systems and related themes.<p>What other similar blogs do you guys follow as well?<p>Julia Evans blog, for those interested is<p>https://jvns.ca/
Julia Evans' blog is one of my favorites! It was a big inspiration for starting my own blog (<a href="https://andythemoron.com" rel="nofollow">https://andythemoron.com</a>). I also love High Scalability and Dan Luu's blog which have been mentioned in other comments.<p>I "follow" several which are mostly defunct, but in terms of blogs that still feature active updates:<p>Evan Klitze's blog: lots of topics around Linux, C++, etc. <a href="https://eklitzke.org/" rel="nofollow">https://eklitzke.org/</a><p>Sutter's Mill: lots of "state of the world" for C++, but also context, history, etc. <a href="https://herbsutter.com/" rel="nofollow">https://herbsutter.com/</a><p>IT Hare: C++, game programming <a href="http://ithare.com/" rel="nofollow">http://ithare.com/</a><p>The Erlangelist: Erlang/Elixir <a href="http://theerlangelist.com/" rel="nofollow">http://theerlangelist.com/</a><p>null program: lots of miscellaneous topics <a href="http://nullprogram.com/" rel="nofollow">http://nullprogram.com/</a><p>Fluent C++: the name speaks for itself <a href="http://www.fluentcpp.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.fluentcpp.com/</a><p>Another Programmer's Blog: Linux, C, C++, C#, MSSQL <a href="https://www.stev.org/" rel="nofollow">https://www.stev.org/</a>
Here's a dump of the "Programming" folder from my RSS reader:<p>Aphyr's (aka the guy behind the Jepsen distributed system test series): <a href="https://aphyr.com/" rel="nofollow">https://aphyr.com/</a><p>Fred Herbert, the author of Learn You Some Erlang: <a href="http://ferd.ca/" rel="nofollow">http://ferd.ca/</a><p>Eevee, who posts a mishmash of stuff about programming in general but these days is mostly focussed on games: <a href="https://eev.ee/" rel="nofollow">https://eev.ee/</a><p>Tef/Programming is Terrible, which features strong opinions about programming/programmers: <a href="http://programmingisterrible.com" rel="nofollow">http://programmingisterrible.com</a><p>Matt Kline, who posts mainly about low-level stuff and embedded systems: <a href="http://bitbashing.io/" rel="nofollow">http://bitbashing.io/</a><p>Evan Miller, whose blog topics are wide-ranging: <a href="http://www.evanmiller.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.evanmiller.org/</a><p>tptacek, who can be seen tirelessly defending common sense in the comments on this very site: <a href="https://sockpuppet.org" rel="nofollow">https://sockpuppet.org</a><p>Sonniesedge, who talks about front-end stuff and the human impact of programming: <a href="https://sonniesedge.co.uk/blog/" rel="nofollow">https://sonniesedge.co.uk/blog/</a><p>Carin Meier, who posts most often, but not exclusively, about Clojure: <a href="http://gigasquidsoftware.com/" rel="nofollow">http://gigasquidsoftware.com/</a><p>Also Julia Evans, as mentioned in the OP.
Not a blog but daily articles from Medium bloggers by language, much better:<p><a href="https://medium.com/tag/swift/latest" rel="nofollow">https://medium.com/tag/swift/latest</a><p><a href="https://medium.com/tag/kotlin/latest" rel="nofollow">https://medium.com/tag/kotlin/latest</a>
I'm actually surprised no one mentioned these two<p>Eli Bendersky <a href="http://eli.thegreenplace.net/" rel="nofollow">http://eli.thegreenplace.net/</a>
Jeff Preshing <a href="http://preshing.com/" rel="nofollow">http://preshing.com/</a>
Mike Ash has started posting again after a long hiatus:<p><a href="https://www.mikeash.com/pyblog/" rel="nofollow">https://www.mikeash.com/pyblog/</a><p>The URL is very misleading, his blog is about Objective-C (and now Swift) internals, in a very loose way like an "Old New Thing" for Apple's tech stack (w/o the insider knowledge parts, he's not an Apple employee).
I follow <a href="https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/" rel="nofollow">https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/</a>
Wayyyyy too many :)<p>A few months back I wrote a Reddit comment listing "just" the high-quality React-related blogs that I read : <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/reactjs/comments/5t8loz/what_are_your_top_reactreact_native_blogs_that/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/reactjs/comments/5t8loz/what_are_yo...</a> .<p>I read a lot more besides that.

(Her actual blog hasn't been updated in a while, but she's also posted many in-depth articles to Mozilla organization blogs over the last few months.)<p>And while I don't think

Dan Luu has a list of programming blogs you might like: <a href="https://danluu.com/programming-blogs/" rel="nofollow">https://danluu.com/programming-blogs/</a>. The rest of his blog is good too!<p>a few of my favorite blogs:<p>- <a href="http://blog.acolyer.org" rel="nofollow">http://blog.acolyer.org</a> for fantastic daily summaries of CS papers.<p>- <a href="http://stephaniehurlburt.com/blog/" rel="nofollow">http://stephaniehurlburt.com/blog/</a> -- she has a business creating a new compression algorithm and I love reading about it<p>- <a href="https://rachelbythebay.com/w/" rel="nofollow">https://rachelbythebay.com/w/</a> is pure gold for weird debugging stories<p>- <a href="https://accidentallyquadratic.tumblr.com/" rel="nofollow">https://accidentallyquadratic.tumblr.com/</a> is always a fun read<p>- <a href="http://wingolog.org/" rel="nofollow">http://wingolog.org/</a> on building compilers<p>- <a href="http://composition.al/blog" rel="nofollow">http://composition.al/blog</a> -- Lindsey Kuper on her programming languages research<p>- aphyr's blog on distributed systems, of course<p>- <a href="https://charity.wtf/" rel="nofollow">https://charity.wtf/</a><p>- <a href="http://www.pgbovine.net/writings.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.pgbovine.net/writings.htm</a> -- Philip Guo is a CS professor whose blog on his experiences in academia I really like<p>- <a href="http://whilefalse.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">http://whilefalse.blogspot.com</a> by Camille Fournier, mostly on engineering management<p>- <a href="http://larahogan.me/blog/" rel="nofollow">http://larahogan.me/blog/</a> by Lara Hogan, on engineering management<p>Also I think this comment from Dan's blog (<a href="https://danluu.com/about/" rel="nofollow">https://danluu.com/about/</a>) is very true and important:<p>> I view that as a sign there’s a desperate shortage of understandable explanation of technical topics. There’s nothing here that most of my co-workers don’t know (with the exception of maybe three or four posts where I propose novel ideas). It’s just that they don’t blog and I do. I’m not going to try to convince you to start writing a blog, since that has to be something you want to do, but I will point out that there’s a large gap that’s waiting to be filled by your knowledge. When I started writing this blog, I figured almost no one would ever read it; sure Joel Spolsky and Steve Yegge created widely read blogs, but that was back when almost no one was blogging. Now that there are millions of blogs, there’s just no way to start a new blog and get noticed. Turns out that’s not true.<p>I really think there is a shortage of understandable explanations of technical topics, and I see new people writing great posts clarifying complicated technical topics all the time. And I find people really do notice/appreciate it. So if you're excited about blogging, maybe do it :)

The Morning Brew: "a daily .NET software development link blog published by Chris Alcock"<p>It's like a daily readers digest of software development stuff.
