> https://lessnews.dev A while ago I felt this "information fatigue" due to the overwhelming updates from the typical news sources (reddit, twitter, even hn). So I built a _slow_ webdev newsfeed aggregator that doesn't overwhelm you of constant updates, so you focus on reading the actual blog contents and enjoy other things.

I bookmarked to take a closer look later, but I'm a little unclear on the premise, could you explain what you mean by "slow"/how it is filtered/curated?

Not RSS exactly but this OPML has feeds for several hundred such blogs if you can filter down from there: https://peterc.org/misc/engblogs.opml

Your website is a work of art. Bravo <3

Thanks, I just treat it like my teenage bedroom, a trash heap with the occasional useful thing buried somewhere :-D

I hold a CS master degree from an Eastern European university and everything you listed was in our Bachelor degree program. It’s pretty funny because while studying material properties back then I always wondered how and when am I gonna use that. It kind of makes sense now that I think about it - some students preferred branching out to hardware. edit: typo

That’s great, unfortunately it is quite rare for CS undergrad programs in the US to require the basic engineering and science classes the other engineering/science majors require.

Do you not have separate "software engineering" and "computer science" undergrad streams?

I am quite surprised and a bit disappointed that almost none of them have RSS. But thank you!

Some of them redesign their blog layouts every 6 months, abandoning and then eventually rediscovering RSS. It's extremely annoying.

Most of them have feeds. * https://engineering.fb.com/feed * https://netflixtechblog.com/feed * No feed for stripe * https://www.uber.com/en-GB/blog/london/engineering/rss/ * No feed for LinkedIn * https://engineering.atspotify.com/feed * https://tailscale.com/blog/index.xml * https://careersatdoordash.com/engineering-blog/feed * https://dropbox.tech/feed
