I've gotten out of the habit of checking blogs on the regular (which is a bad thing), but I do catch up on these when it crosses my mind: - http://rachelbythebay.com/ - https://www.hanselman.com/blog/

Have you thought of getting a RSS feed reader so you don't have to check? I use Feedbro which is also a browser extension so its very easy to see when theres a new post.

Self-promotion: I run Thinking About Things [0], a simple newsletter that is a single link every other day to something interesting. Many subscribers have told me they've learned about a diversity of new blogs through the newsletter.

You can see some sample articles at [1].

https://brandur.org has lots of interesting posts about databases, especially Postgres. Also posts about interesting technical problems and their solutions. One of my favorites is this one about implementing an idempotent API:

https://blog.fefe.de/ (in German, about software security, politics etc.) I like the design a lot.

Can confirm. It's basically what https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ suggest and actually provides entertaining content/rants.
