His "Today I Learned" series is an extremely useful selection of small learnings: https://til.simonwillison.net/

It is funny, almost as funny as an entire cadre of people with “engineer” in their title who've never had to draw a free body diagram, learn circuit analysis, understand the basics of thermodynamics, or the mechanics of materials.
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.

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

OP is asking a good question. There's no dishonor if he is not fluent in English, and used an LLM to translate.
"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˙
- 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.
It's so interesting to me as a Mechanical Engineer and Hardware designer/architect how on HN "Engineering" almost always means "Software engineering" here.
Maybe, generously, in retrospect, an aspiration?
I never considered myself an actual engineer; I was (and still am) a self-taught un-credentialed computer programmer. More art than science. They made me take the title and the stock options and the business cards.
I mostly worked for and with EEs, making software tools for test automation. I was a fanboy hardware wannabee (and still am), got some on me but was never a true engineer. I learned from those who practiced their discipline; it was plain to me the reality of real engineering versus what I was doing.
I suppose in my travels I have on occasion encountered a true Software Engineer. I suppose there's reason to hope that software development will continue to mature and evolve, and eventually the other engineering disciplines will accept software as a science.
For me, it will always be a joy to make that hardware work with my twiddly bits. Not engineering, no. But very rewarding work that often resembles engineering.
