I like Dadgum's blog. http://prog21.dadgum.com/

Being an older developer (please don't crucify me he's old compared to people I've worked with), his insight is really interesting to me.

I also use Stacknews to follow tools that interest me. This site aggregates articles and I can read them inline. It's like RSS on steroids.

Prog21 is a goldmine, it's a shame he's retired it.
There used to be a blog on Ruby called Sneaking Ruby through the System. It was awesome but unfortunately it stopped back in 2010 amidst the Rails craze.
Hey you'd probably like a project I've built -

https://discoverdev.io

I've created a system that crawls 100s of engineering blogs and picks out 8-12 posts good links every day. I then tag and publish them.

You may find publications you like by going through the archive!

This project is very good. Thanks :)
Glad you liked it! I do put quite a bit of work into it on a daily basis :)
Very cool! Definitely bookmarking.
Do you accept blog suggestions?
Sure! I should probably add a button there on the website.

For now you can just mail me via the "contact" link.

Wow, the quality of articles is excellent! How did you go about collecting a dataset for your ML model?
This is interesting. Do you have the source code for this somewhere?
No clue why you're down voted, but no as of now the source code is not open.

It's a bunch of small / medium sized scripts I've tied together to run the system - I don't think open sourcing it would make sense. Unless of course I spend a bunch of time documenting and structuring the code. Time I unfortunately don't have right now :(

But perhaps in the next couple of months!

Thank you very much for this. It is very good!

May I suggest a feature: Clickable tags. That way one could find all related articles you've found.

Interesting project! I'm curious about how the 8-12 good links are picked. Do you do it manually out of the collected links or is it an automated process? If automated, would you mind sharing how it's done?
If you use Go, you may like this link aggregator I made based on HN https://golangnews.com which has a lot of good blog posts on programming in Go.

Andy Wingo's texts about compilers and optimisation. Very nice, especially if you like scheme.
