A couple of my favorite blogs - http://antirez.com/ - https://martin.kleppmann.com/archive.html - https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing - https://ma.tt/ - https://www.allthingsdistributed.com/ - https://jvns.ca/ - https://www.johndcook.com/blog - http://feross.org/ - https://ridiculousfish.com/blog/ - https://blog.andrewcantino.com/ - https://nickcraver.com/blog/ - https://blog.acolyer.org - https://blog.codingh…

Hey, I really like diff.blog. I just made an account. A little feedback would be to add an "About page" so I can understand what is it without having to login. And a pat on the back for not abusing Github access permissions. Felt really good to see "email (read-only)" access. Keep the good work!

Thanks! There is an FAQ at https://diff.blog/FAQ/. It used to be linked form the left sidebar. But I made a major website redesign a couple of months back, which removed that sidebar. Will add it back soon :)

https://daringfireball.net by John Gruber

I like Daring Fireball and read it mainly because it is one of the default NetNewsWire feeds and I never removed it.

That said, some of his political posts are offputting - not because I disagree with them on a liberal/conservative spectrum, but because they sometimes have an "I drank the kool aid" tone.

I'm probably echoing a lot of people here but:

- Dan Luu [1]

and for design and insights in that discipline:

- Arun Venkatesan [2]

I first saw Dan Luu's list of programming books (https://danluu.com/programming-books/) when researching CLRS during my sophomore year of high school. This list and his insights on pure CS are really enjoyable to read and pique my interest. Also, his post on latency [4] secured the idea that minuscule UX improvements is as important as UI and that we should optimize for both. jvns introduced me to the Recurse Center and dluu confirmed that I could, in fact, participate and do something cool. (I also took his Hugo template for my own blog which has served me well though this week I'll be designing my own with cues from the latter.)

Arun is a physical/digital design nerd and someone I read religiously. From photography to the design minutiae of the Apple Card [5] /Mac Pro [6] /iPod HiFi [7] his in-depth posts really allowed me to appreciate even the smallest of design choices and how they play into the larger, big picture, design system as a whole.
