Sometimes, someone’s writings hit just right. This is one of them. A man building is home, investing in the people around him and telling tales. Yet it’s so good!

I follow over 200 blogs, but this one has remained my favorite for years: https://ciechanow.ski/archives/.

New posts are rare - just once or twice a year - but every single article is a gem.

Amazing recommendation, thanks! I've only just read one post but the quality (visuals, depth, topic) is outstanding

Shameless plug: https://techtalksweekly.io/

I publish one post a week with all the recently uploaded talks from nearly all software engineering conferences to save my readers time from endlessly scrolling through messy YT subscriptions and to reduce FOMO.

On top of that, each week, I pick a few talks that I think are a must-watch and write a short narrative to give some context.

https://www.notboring.co/ Probably not new for most of people here but it's a breath of fresh air

Don't bother with this one - the latest post (The Return of Magic) is promoting a load of unscientific woo (The Telepathy Tapes). The author seems to seriously mean the title of the post literally.

I started reading the first half of that. I definitely sense what you’re sensing but I’m curious, what is it that you object to specifically?
