I am a big fan of the bolt blog.
Its a hardware/hardware startup blog written by what looks like a full(ish) stack hardware VC.
Ask HN: What programming blogs do you follow?

Re: Ask HN: What programming blogs do you follow?
#72Wayyyyy too many :) A few months back I wrote a Reddit comment listing "just" the high-quality React-related blogs that I read : https://www.reddit.com/r/reactjs/comments/5t8loz/what_are_yo... . I read a lot more besides that. To pick out just a few: - Scott Hanselman: https://www.hanselman.com/blog/ - Robert O'Callahan: http://robert.ocallahan.org/ - Henrik Warne: https://henrikwarne.com/ - Andrew Wulf ("The Codist"…
How do you manage to keep yourself updated on all of these?
Easy - RSS feeds :) I use BazQux Reader, which is basically a modern incarnation of Google Reader. Simple, works, and totally worth the $20 subscription.
All the blogs I just listed, plus a whole bunch more, are in my "Programming - High Quality" folder - anything new in that folder is likely to be pretty good, but the total amount of traffic is relatively low. I also subscribe to several blog aggregators like EchoJS, JavascriptKicks, DZone, Planet Python, etc. Those go in a separate folder that has a lot more volume, and I skim the titles to pick out what's interesting. Then there's the "General" category, and so on.
It's a shame RSS feeds seem to have been mostly ignored after the death of Google Reader. They're a _fantastic_ way to stay up to date with a wide variety of sites.

#73Earlier quoted context omitted.
Same here. I haven't been able to find an RSS reader I love since Google Reader went under. I'm loving all the blog recommendations I get here, but I don't see how I can follow the content reliably like I can with my favorite podcasts.
Have you tried Feedly?
Yeah, it didn't take for reasons I can't really recall offhand. Maybe I'll give it another shot.

#74As a nod to HN I confess its front page acts as a wonderful filter. So while I do not follow blogs, I get a really good stuff from here.

I've been using NewsBlur since Reader shut down. It's not as good but it's passable.

try https://www.goread.io, it is very similar to what Google Reader was.

Have you tried Feedly?
Second that. I tried so many readers after GR was gone and Feedly for the bill.
The key features I need is "read when scrolled" and a clean interface
