#122It's so interesting to me as a Mechanical Engineer and Hardware designer/architect how on HN "Engineering" almost always means "Software engineering" here.
I would love more blogs on mechanical, hardware, and especially industrial engineering, but the demographics in those areas skew stereo-typically older and also likely less blog-oriented, right?
Would you consider Chris Boden the type of content you’re interested in? https://youtube.com/@physicsduck?si=WJS3UbDF0VWKwOgy

Fair Observation, HN surrounded by mostly Software guys, which directly add nuances of "Engineering" and Engineering.
but to specific is much important, imo Engineering means "Solving problem at a scale", irrelevant of the industry.

#124There are no such blogs. Usually companies, or individuals, will write these after they implement some feature into their products. Which makes them inherently little pieces of information scattered all over the internet and there is no one blog that is just about this.
That’s true. This kind of writing usually shows up as post-implementation retrospectives, so it’s inherently fragmented.
I’m trying to surface and study those scattered examples—especially the ones that explain why decisions were made, not just what was built.

#125Jane Street has a good one at https://blog.janestreet.com/
https://www.redblobgames.com/ is not strictly speaking a blog, but an interested collection of articles on algorithmic concepts you might want to know for writing games.

Well, engineer without any qualification used to refer only to combat engineers. (The term civil engineering betrays that history.)
Words change meaning over time and with the audience.

"OP" couldn't even be bothered to reformat the numbered list to run on separate fucking lines. But sure, cheer on the homogenization of online spaces into beige slop staccato bullshit! ˙ ͜ʟ˙
You seem to be new here, so you probably don't know that: - Even if you separate each point with a new line, - HN formatter will join everything to one line anyway. - So it's not OP's fault his points are in the same line, because the source post has them in separate lines.

#130Armin Ronacher's blog (of flask/jinja fame) https://lucumr.pocoo.org/ Antirez' blog (of Redis fame) https://antirez.com/ Simon Willison's blog (about AI) https://simonwillison.net/
Simon's blog is stellar, and he posts on many tech topics in addition to AI. His "Today I Learned" series is an extremely useful selection of small learnings: https://til.simonwillison.net/
