Hey folks, I'm on the lookout for standout software engineering blog posts this year! Interested in anything from system scaling to crafty architectures, optimization, programming languages, and cool features. Whether it's from open-source projects, companies, or individuals, what are your absolute favorite blogs for tech insights in 2023?

P.S. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I've greatly enjoyed reading this Mainlining blog series from ichernev, about porting an Android phone to PostmarketOS:

It teaches you how to probe the system, scrape out the proprietary microcode, and use it to build against a newer kernel (albeit with much tweaking)

https://danluu.com/ is my all time favourite. Unfortunately hasn’t posted in 2023, but I reread old posts often.

>> "what are your absolute favorite blogs"

A reasonable person could infer from the title and this line that OP is fine with both.

Your comment (and hypocritically, this comment as well) is also a hilarious example of how some people on HN also disregard the actual content of the parent post and instead point out/share their negative meta-observations of the HN community at large.
