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.<p><a href="https://fabiensanglard.net" rel="nofollow">https://fabiensanglard.net</a><p>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.
<a href="https://github.com/search?q=list+of+awesome+blogs" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/search?q=list+of+awesome+blogs</a> Look at the result of this github search for 'list of awesome blogs'.

Xah has written a lot of great informative and opinion content on his blog.

Sadly now on hiatus, the morning paper by Adrian Colyer reviews research in modern systems, if you're interested in the boundaries of what's possible. Adrian climbed the ladder - big projects at IBM, lead AspectJ, CTO for Spring orgs, VC, and now... retired? <a href="https://blog.acolyer.org" rel="nofollow">https://blog.acolyer.org</a>
It's not regularly updated, but I absolutely love anything @munificentbob writes at <a href="https://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/" rel="nofollow">https://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/</a>
Here are some great but lesser known blogs:<p>- Brian Robert Callahan <a href="https://briancallahan.net/blog" rel="nofollow">https://briancallahan.net/blog</a><p>- Austin Z.

<a href="https://matt.might.net/articles/" rel="nofollow">https://matt.might.net/articles/</a><p>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.
I'll add Raymond Chen's "The Old New Thing": <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/" rel="nofollow">https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/</a> . Helped me change my views towards Windows (for the better) many years back and it's a good read anyway.<p>... and while here, I may also plug my own: <a href="https://jmmv.dev/" rel="nofollow">https://jmmv.dev/</a>
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. It was not a <i>programming</i> blog but rather a blog about <i>user experience</i>, which I'd say is just as important.<p><a href="https://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/" rel="nofollow">https://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/</a>
I've always found Mark Seemann's blog posts to be really pragmatic and insightful. He oftentimes puts to words things that I've always "felt" but hadn't quite found the thread to pull.<p><a href="https://blog.ploeh.dk/archive/" rel="nofollow">https://blog.ploeh.dk/archive/</a>
To everyone that submitted their recommendations, Thank you! I'm trying to reply to each submission since so many of these are so good, but I may not get to them all. I'm bookmarking this to refer back to for the next several months. I have already found so many great resources.

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 <a href="https://fasterthanli.me/articles/why-is-my-rust-build-so-slow" rel="nofollow">https://fasterthanli.me/articles/why-is-my-rust-build-so-slo...</a><p>Does someone else remember that blog?
