Ask HN: To which tech email newsletters do you subscribe?
Once I learned that cron.weekly was going away (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16148954), I found myself thinking about the many tech newsletters I find valuable.
I'm thinking of writing a blog post about my favorites. (Leaving out general news sites, marketing-related newsletters, or off-hours stuff like SF-related topics... just tech stuff for programmers, sysadmins, and other geeky folks.)
What would you include?

[ 4.2 ms ] story [ 45.0 ms ] threadA curated daily digest of the most insightful software engineering articles I find across the web. I've curated and tagged over 1000+ articles to date. (Initially tried an ML approach to crawl and classify articles, it didn't work out. So there is a fair bit of human intervention to keep up the quality of the links)
As of now there is a RSS feed, starting this month there will also be a newsletter (it's about time, over 1000 people signed up). Just give it a look and tell me if you like it :)
Ben Thompson’s Stratechery is good too. More hit and miss because it’s mostly his original hot takes, but frequently insightful. [2]

Five links every week, all in some way useful or informative for a .NET developer.

I like the metaphor of a T-shaped developer, which is why I mention it on the site. I decided on "Breadth First Growth" as a cute way to convey the focus on growing sideways (and reference the search of course). It's mostly geared towards junior developers and those without a solid CS foundation, so although I might not recommend it for the average HN reader, I've heard good things about it from other junior devs and bootcamp grads. It's been great to make and share!

I like a bunch of language from Go/Elixir/Clojure/Ruby/Elm and also work as a DevOps engineer so my links tend to be spread out between many language/stack with focus on infrastructure(Kubernetes, Docker, Security etc)
It kinds of my personal reading list that I put up and hope it deliver value to people.
The code is also open source: https://github.com/yeo/betterdev.link It also have an Elixir application(which I has not deploy yet) that allow peple to submit links and bookmark etc(frontend is in MithrilJS).
Let me know if you like it.
