I acquired a finance/economics blogroll during the financial crisis. The ones I still read are: 'Naked Capitalism", "Yves Smith", https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/ "The Big Picture", Barry Ritholtz, https://ritholtz.com/ "Calculated Risk", Bill McBride, https://www.calculatedriskblog.com/

Out of curiosity, why the downvotes?

If you are a manager / founder in a startup with a visionary interest in corporate culture, then you might find https://bradhenrickson.substack.com/ to be worthy of exploration. Brad has held leadership positions in a wide variety of startups and early stage companies so he is walking the talk with these personal blog posts.

I love blog posts by Amos - https://fasterthanli.me They write long, informative, and fun articles. I usually spend hours to on each post. Some recommendations if you want to get started: 1. What's in the box? - https://fasterthanli.me/articles/whats-in-the-box 2. Making our own ping - https://fasterthanli.me/series/making-our-own-ping 3. What's in a Rainbow table? - https://fasterthanli.me/articles/whats-in-a-rainbo…

Amos is by far one of the best technical writers that I've come across. Not only are all their articles super in-depth, but they have a real talent for making the content both accessible and (most importantly) interesting. Each post is a real treat!

amos is also super super nice on twitter, if you say hi to him there!

Very related: What's everyone using for RSS, webdev + client side?? What's everyone's feeling on ActivityPub?

Miniflux is my RSS reader of choice.

ActivityPub is a complicated protocol, but I still implemented ActivityPub support into my blog.

My absolute favorite discovery this past year has been Monica Belevan's Covidian Aesthetics blog.

Some of the best writing about being alive right now to be found if you're interested in anthropology, art history, and philosophy. Can't recommend it enough.

Why 0 points? I'm not Mr Money Mustache but down voting seems unfair.
