I just started using a RSS reader and i am liking it. I would like to add diverse and good blogs to the list. Do you maintain a list of RSS links of the GOAT blogs? If you do can you please share?

I am mainly looking for blogs related to programming, tech, philosophy and finance.

This is my current list https://news.ycombinator.com/rss https://jvns.ca/atom.xml http://feeds.hanselman.com/ScottHanselman https://www.joshwcomeau.com/rss.xml https://ciechanow.ski/atom.xml

Thank you.

I don't, but here is a nice (or just big) list if someone has focus to spare:

I quite like Bits About Money: https://bam.kalzumeus.com/

As someone who knows very little about the finance sector I find the posts very understable and informative.

Not an individual blog, but if your reader supports creating a folder of feeds from an OPML file and you're happy to then edit it down to the ones that you find useful then https://engblogs.s3.amazonaws.com/engblogs.opml has around 500 feeds in the software development and devtools space.

https://github.com/simevidas/web-dev-feeds/blob/master/feeds... is another good one more about frontend development that I'm currently trying.

Yep. OPML is the way. http://superkuh.com/2022-04-27-feedlist.opml And this is the same list but with categorized HTML descriptions and RSS links, http://superkuh.com/feeds8.html . "Computing" and "Computing but not spammy" categories apply here.

Honestly, I looked at this discussion just to know what "GOAT blogs" are.

General rule of thumb with communication: Try to avoid acronyms, because chances are most people will have no idea what you're talking about. If you do need to use them, make sure you very quickly define what the acronym is.

FWIW: Even the Google doesn't know what GOAT blogs are. Searching for GOAT blogs brings up blogs about goats: https://www.google.com/search?q=GOAT+blog&rlz=1C1GCEU_enUS99...
