Ask HN: Best Engineering Blog Posts?

#1
Looking for examples of high-quality engineering blog posts, and particularly interested in posts from tech company blogs.

I'm looking to see quality writing in this genre- brief explanations of technical concepts, good structure and flow, and tying things back to business context.

This is a shameless plug, but a friend and I have been writing a blog where we discuss a lot of engineering topics since around the start of the covid era.

Sample posts:

* Managing Engineering Managers: A Primer https://staysaasy.com/management/2021/10/14/Managing-Manager...

* A tech stack should be a well-balanced portfolio https://staysaasy.com/engineering/2020/05/30/Picking-Your-Te...

We also write about product, management, and company scaling in general, but we're engineers by trade and that's one of our go-to topics.

Joel On Software has great posts aimed at all levels: developers, PMs, non-tech managers and founders/CEOs. Begin with the Top 10 :) https://www.joelonsoftware.com/

There’s a lot of great content on Joel’s site but he’s mostly stopped posting new content.
