Shameless, but I'm a programmer and this is my blog: https://jlelse.blog/

Hey, here is mine: https://pilabor.com/

Is it even more shameless to abuse your shamelessness to promote it? ;)

One interesting author from my RSS collection. I'm currently posting from my phone so I can't really create a curated list:

Fabien Sanglard's blog is one of my favorites. He posts mostly about internals and implementation details of classic video/computer games, plus other tech like Git and USB. https://fabiensanglard.net And if you find his blog to your liking, he has a couple of books doing a deeper dive into the internals of Wolfenstein 3D and Doom.

You can buy some of his work in book form as well.

This is a long shot but hoping someone might be able to help... Almost a decade back I stumbled across an excellent blog which had extremely long and detailed in-depth articles related to performance. Every article had a "hare/rabbit" mascot section similar to the "cool bear" section from this blog https://fasterthanli.me/articles/why-is-my-rust-build-so-slo...

Does someone else remember that blog? If yes, please share the link!

I'm not sure it qualifies as "great", but I am a programmer!

I write about all sorts of things, some of which are technical. Here's a favorite Python article: https://xavd.id/blog/post/python-dataclasses-from-scratch/

I'll add Raymond Chen's "The Old New Thing": https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/ . Helped me change my views towards Windows (for the better) many years back and it's a good read anyway.

... and while here, I may also plug my own: https://jmmv.dev/
