Digital Ocean has some quality posts I've found from Google, though I don't actively follow the blog. https://www.digitalocean.com/company/blog/

I have to agree that the posts I've read from DO have all been of the highest quality regarding ops-stuff. I think the bigger companies could use same kind of dedication to user-friendliness and focus more on making their communities better.

RiotGames: https://engineering.riotgames.com/ Autodesk Stingray (formerly Bitsquid): http://bitsquid.blogspot.de/

Glad you mentioned Riot Games. I stumbled on their dev blog this year and found their content to be excellent.

I personally really enjoyed their post about their messaging service: https://engineering.riotgames.com/news/riot-messaging-servic...

Depends what you want to get out of them. I find some are mostly focused around some of the more unique/cool challenges they come across (Google[1][2], Slack[3]), and others are more about how they solve the engineering challenges they face through software and/or about their dev process (Uber[4], Twitter[5]). Some are mix of the two (Dropbox[6], Netflix[7]). [1] https://developers.googleblog.com/ [2] http://research…

Another one for Google that's really interesting is their testing blog: https://testing.googleblog.com/

Earlier quoted context omitted.

BTW, I am a kind of reader who is interested in meta stories, i.e., stories behind the stories. Following you blog and I find the meta link on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=sangaline.com It would be interesting to do some graph analysis on it.

Awesome, I really love meta-analyses too! Our product involves web scraping so it's a natural fit to write articles about scraping and analyzing data in general. A few of our articles so far [1,2,3] would probably be classified as meta-analyses and we have some more in the pipeline! Feel free to sign up for the newsletter in the footer of http://intoli.com if you would like to read those articles after they're publis…

Perhaps you can use web scraping to build bots to read and classify these tech blogs. I am sure the API to these metadata graphs will have strategic values to VC, recruiters, tech consultants, etc.
