This thread on Twitter took off (https://twitter.com/pjrvs/status/1176945769598705664), so I'm curious to ask the same question on HN.
I don't know which aspect for the "best" you mean, if you meant best on monetary gain by reading their articles, definitely <a href="https://kalzumeus.com" rel="nofollow">https://kalzumeus.com</a> (HN user patio11)
<a href="https://www.gwern.net/" rel="nofollow">https://www.gwern.net/</a><p>Beautifully designed, highly readable, black and white. Take a look :)
I don't know about "best". But here's some I always check in on:<p>Jessie Frazelle: <a href="https://blog.jessfraz.com/" rel="nofollow">https://blog.jessfraz.com/</a><p>Joshua Stein: <a href="https://jcs.org/" rel="nofollow">https://jcs.org/</a><p>Jim Fisher: <a href="https://jameshfisher.com/" rel="nofollow">https://jameshfisher.com/</a><p>(I just noticed they all have first names starting with 'J', weird coincidence, right?).
I must mention Amos Wenger <a href="https://amos.me" rel="nofollow">https://amos.me</a> who strated writing recently but have a really nice prose and great touch of pedagogy which make post really enjoyable and personally I learn things very well in his posts !
My favorite blogs generally post super actionable marketing tactics that you can begin implementing as you read. Also enjoy reading industry insights, observations and trends from folks with high levels of experience.<p><a href="https://a16z.com/" rel="nofollow">https://a16z.com/</a> (specifically Ben Horowitz's posts - he starts off each with a rap lyric)<p><a href="https://sparktoro.com/blog" rel="nofollow">https://sparktoro.com/blog</a><p><a href="https://andrewchen.co/" rel="nofollow">https://andrewchen.co/</a><p><a href="https://doubleyourfreelancing.com" rel="nofollow">https://doubleyourfreelancing.com</a><p><a href="https://rankz.io/blog" rel="nofollow">https://rankz.io/blog</a><p><a href="https://contentdistribution.com/guides" rel="nofollow">https://contentdistribution.com/guides</a> (mine)
I like Scott Alexander's Slate Star Codex (yep, it's an anagram of his name). He talks mostly about science, religion and social issues, often with a pleasant reading and a comment section filled with good discussions.<p><a href="https://slatestarcodex.com/about/" rel="nofollow">https://slatestarcodex.com/about/</a>
Seths.blog because he has written daily for 20 years, and aaronparecki.com because his blog is a manifestation of IndieWeb ideas (open decentralized comments, likes, mentions, etc.)
I tend to read blogs that cover PHP, C++, Linux and some iOS development here and there, etc. Here are some of my favs:<p>- <a href="http://brendangregg.com" rel="nofollow">http://brendangregg.com</a><p>- <a href="https://marcell.me" rel="nofollow">https://marcell.me</a><p>- <a href="https://www.raywenderlich.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.raywenderlich.com</a><p>- <a href="https://blog.codinghorror.com/" rel="nofollow">https://blog.codinghorror.com/</a>
<a href="https://brandur.org/articles" rel="nofollow">https://brandur.org/articles</a><p>Great articles and I personally love the diagrams.
I've been digging on a lot of Observable notebooks lately. Having code and visualization and description so neatly presented together makes for a powerful presentation.<p>I'll just link to Bostock's, but there are many other informative and enlightening ones. This will only get better ;)<p><a href="https://observablehq.com/@mbostock" rel="nofollow">https://observablehq.com/@mbostock</a>
<a href="https://coderscat.com" rel="nofollow">https://coderscat.com</a>
is a great one.<p>And if you are a beginner for learn to code:

Surprised I didn't see this already listed... But Bill Gates <a href="https://www.gatesnotes.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.gatesnotes.com/</a> has a pretty great personal site
I think Dan Luu's website is kind of cool [0] because visually there's no frills, just content.<p>- [0] <a href="http://danluu.com/" rel="nofollow">http://danluu.com/</a>
Dunno about 'best', but my favourite is Julia Evans - love her style, love her content.<p><a href="https://jvns.ca/" rel="nofollow">https://jvns.ca/</a>
