I second this, but all of his posts hit the front page of HN anyway, no need to actively follow it! (/s)

Whenever I evaluate a technology stack for microservice architecture viability, I implement the same feature identical polyglot persistent microservice then run it through the same load test as all the others. In that way, I can compare and contrast these various technology stacks. I blog about the results here. http://glennengstrand.info So far, I have covered clojure on ring, scala on finatra, java on dropwizard, j…

Not exactly a blog but as fresher I used to read https://www.perlmonks.org/ PerlMonks. The Original StackOverflow. I still at times discover cool programming ways. Its a treasure mine.

What is a "fresher"? Freshman?

Freshman are called fresher in other countries, at least in UK

Here's a good one: https://susam.in/ Stumbled on this when his domain was hijacked accidentally due to an anti-botnet operation and his post about it came on HN (check the "Sinkholed" post). Since then I've subscribed to his blog, read the older posts and enjoyed the newer posts too. He mostly posts about technology and mathematics. The reason why I got hooked to this blog is that they are mostly about offbeat topics…

Pretty scary stuff for domain buyers!

Awesome comment feed.

Specific to CSS, Chris Coyier's stuff is good https://css-tricks.com/author/chriscoyier/

Fairly sure he's solo enough and blogger enough to count.
