Noting that you asked for company blogs and not personal blogs: I think the most interesting ones are among startups since at larger scale there is still great technical content but it's more of just a random collection of great writing and no coherent story-telling tied to the company itself.

Like Microsoft has awesome random blogs all over the place (Raymond Chen for example). Etsy, Netflix both have good ones. They just don't tell any single story about the company any more.

So among smaller companies with strong technical+narrative writing I think of Tailscale, HoneyComb, Memfault, maybe Oxide Computer, maybe Trail of Bits.

Most of my favorite blog posts are from individuals rather than companies, but here are a few that are fully or basically from tech companies:

- https://engineering.linkedin.com/distributed-systems/log-wha... (pretty long but very lucid)

- https://web.archive.org/web/20170612053125/https://blogs.dro... (can't find it on their blog anymore)

- https://nickcraver.com/blog/2016/05/03/stack-overflow-how-we... (personal blog but clearly about Stack Overflow)

Very nice aggregation blog. Is it possible to have a rss feed for your blog I can add to the readers?
