xena Near 400 posts, writing about a lot of stuff. Here’s some of my favorites over the years:
– https://xeiaso.net/blog/anything-message-queue – Anything can be a message queue if you use it wrongly enough
– https://xeiaso.net/blog/a-weapon-to-surpass-metal-gear – A weapon to surpass Metal Gear

https://xeiaso.net/feeds to subscribe. Been considering an email list. https://xeiaso.net fasterthanlime Infamous for discussions of Go.. (vs Rust..) but mostly it’s me getting excited about learning & teaching computery stuff like:
ICMP in Making our own ping: https://fasterthanli.me/series/making-our-own-ping
ELF in Making our own executable packer: https://fasterthanli.me/series/making-our-own-executable-pac…
HTTP 1&2: https://fasterthanli.me/articles/the-http-crash-course-nobod…
Anyway yeah! Some folks hate it some folks love it, we need stuff for everyone. https://fasterthanli.me/ bookofjoe I post 3x daily (since 2004) featuring things that surprise/inform/amuse/amaze/delight (sometimes >1 of these) https://www.bookofjoe.com/ DocFeind my clunky eclectic web face online. slow growing bits of projects and tools, eventual rambles on topics from what i do, made with experimental builds because it’s mine and it’s fun to play in the codes ;) https://maninthedot.com/ thallavajhula I write about things that interest me. Will be starting a new series focused heavily on tech and computer science. https://iam.mt tanelpoder Mostly about systematic troubleshooting of Linux and SQL tuning (mostly Oracle stuff, but the concepts are universal) https://tanelpoder.com rafaquintanilha Recently migrated to Ghost and I’m trying now to centralize all posts in a single place. It hasn’t been busy in the last couple years, but I’m planning to revitalize it soon.
I talk mostly about web development (React mostly) and quantitative finance (Python mostly). I run a SaaS in the area, so I plan to talk more about running it.
Fun fact, one of my posts actually feature #1 in HN a couple years ago: https://rafaelquintanilha.com/how-to-become-a-bad-developer/ https://rafaelquintanilha.com/ smusamashah Intended to make and share my personal projects here. At the moment its around 2 good or known posts and one project. Hosted on github pages, based on Hugo, , which makes me feel too tired just to think about updating it. Will update it someday with most simplest to setup markdown based tool/framework. https://xosh.org/ rckrd 779 blog posts. Writing about engineering, startups, math, and AI.
Many of the posts have rich discussions on HN. You can see the top ones here: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que…

RSS Feed: https://matt-rickard.com/rss
Email list: https://matt-rickard.com/subscribe https://matt-rickard.com richdougherty https://rd.nz benhoyt The programming-related articles I’ve written, focussing primarily on Go and Python, as well as articles about my projects like GoAWK. https://benhoyt.com/writings/ nathan_f77 I post about my electronics and DIY projects. I recently got a 3D printer and have been getting into woodworking as well, so hope to start posting more regularly. https://madebynathan.com jmmv You probably have seen this in the front page sometime last week due to the “Fast machines, slow machines” post :)
I started this blog during exams session back in university and I’ll reach the 20-year mark next year. Wow. I write about my own projects, but also tech in general based on my current interests, which at the moment are around Rust, Bazel (again), and Unix systems in general.
It’s interesting how the blog has changed: I used to write short posts almost daily describing whatever I had been tinkering with in open source projects (back when I contributed to NetBSD and Gnome regularly)… or whatever crossed my mind really. These days, most of those misc posts go into social media, and the blog is reserved for purposeful articles, which end up being much longer (and thus infrequent).
Commenting on the blog used to be much more common years ago, but these days discussion happen off-site in either social media or here. Similarly, people used to visit the blog periodically, but these days nobody does: traffic to the blog is either from organic searches or from spikes due to referrals from sites like HN.
As for how I build it: the posts are written in Markdown; I use Hugo to generate the site; Bootstrap for styling; and my custom web service (EndTRACKER) to offer email subscriptions, post voting and commenting, as well as privacy-respecting analytics. https://jmmv.dev/ ryan-c I haven’t posted for a while, as I’ve been going through a lot personally, but I’ve got a couple of drafts and rough outlines I hope to be able to post soon.
Most of my posts have to do with cryptography, over-engineered silliness, or “cursed” things.

I started this blog for my own benefit so I could remember those little tweaks or fixes which escape memory at crucial times when a needed repair or a new issue arose that I had never dealt with before. When I would research these issues, I would come across great posts and information I wanted to remember and posted that information here.

Of most interest to HN readers is probably this piece of flash fiction, Prompt Engineering for pre-Singularity Service Workers [0], inspired by the idea that LLMs like ChatGPT are likely to change the way people communicate with each other.

Feed ~ https://foreverliketh.is/blog/index.xml https://foreverliketh.is/blog/ cloverich Typical dev blog, though I’d like to invest a bit more into harvesting my thousands of notes, and be less picky on what i share. I am not a good formal writer, so wanting to transition into the more informal style which i find more natural. https://pinecoder.dev smcleod I used to blog about the challenges of running high throughput / latency sensitive workloads on a shoestring budget at non-profits, these days it’s mostly code snippets and me whining about enterprise culture ;’) https://smcleod.net aor215 I write personal essays and articles about code. https://alexrichey.com/ waynesoftware https://www.waynehaber.com/ cybersunil I blog once a week on Saturday or Sunday, about the thing that is on my mind.
Going through the list above, I have made a note to also start writing about programming, UI / UX and API Performance Monitoring and Improvements. https://www.sunilshenoy.com OliveMate I feel a tad awkward because 1) I only started this last week 2) I’m not super tech-y or owt like everyone else here, I’m just a bloke who knows his limits. It’s very lightweight & basic and inspired by the likes of bearblog and other small blogs.https://callmeo.live
It’s for expressing general thoughts really, and it serves as a fun trial by fire as every little change inevitably runs into problems, but it’s a nice learning experience. Hopefully my writing isn’t terrible! https://callmeo.live iBotPeaches I write weekly on https://connortumbleson.com using Ghost. Started as a new years resolution I’ve kept just discussing what crosses my life or mind.

Still restoring a lot of older content from previous CMSes dating back to early 2000s. Currently using ghost and oracle cloud. https://bajkowski.com Lex-2008 Write (“leave notes”) mostly for myself, but wonder if someone else might find it useful / interesting. http://alexey.shpakovsky.ru/en/ zdwolfe tech and personal musings when I find time to write about them.My favorite is Schrödinger’s Microservice, which was fun to write https://zdwolfe.medium.com/schr%C3%B6dingers-microservice-c4… https://zdwolfe.medium.com/ danrl – the occasional essay https://danrl.com mkasberg Some programming stuff, some totally random stuff, and lately some 3D printing stuff!
I think my most well-known post is a how-to for encrypted dual-boot in Ubuntu: https://www.mikekasberg.com/blog/2020/04/08/dual-boot-ubuntu…

Open and willing for suggestions to further my bastardization of a Kubernetes cluster. https://fractalco.re btmiller A blog about how to take shortcuts in tech as well as the broader sense of life. Because not everything has to always be so stupid :) https://btmiller.com wyum Personal blog with a handful of tech-oriented posts and a gallery of some of my favorite photos. Haven’t posted in a bit, but this thread is motivating. Made with Jekyll, hosted on GitHub pages, with Cloudflare in front. It’s super lightweight. My goal is to keep the PageSpeed score at 100.
My personal favorite post is: “Explore JavaScript with Axis & Allies” https://williamhuster.com/explore-js-with-axis-and-allies/ https://williamhuster.com Two9A Perhaps a hundred posts, with the last significant block being ten years ago. I should really get back to it sometime… Posts that tend to have some lasting power:
– https://imrannazar.com/GameBoy-Emulation-in-JavaScript – A ten-part series (intended to be longer) on the implementation of emulators with the example of a GameBoy;
– https://imrannazar.com/Let’s-Build-a-JPEG-Decoder – A four-part series (intended to be longer) about the concepts behind JPEG and building a decoder;

Sharing what I’ve learned while maintaining my sailboat. https://egopontem.com numlocked It’s been fun to have a couple python data science posts get popular, and to read very old posts and see whether ideas I had in my early 20s were decent or quite silly (a good mix of both!). https://blog.untrod.com lproven My tech blog:https://liam-on-linux.dreamwidth.org/

These days, the vast majority of my writing is on https://www.theregister.com/ though. https://liam-on-linux.dreamwidth.org/ kepano Short essays I write about tools, philosophy, habits https://stephanango.com/ kdheepak My blog has seen more time and effort put toward trying out different static site generators than interesting posts, but I’m sharing none the less :) https://kdheepak.com/blog/ https://kdheepak.com/blog/ softwaredoug – about search and AI, being a staff engineer, and team dynamics http://softwaredoug.com abc3 For the past 2.5 years, I’ve published summaries of each month as it ends, so on 2023-06-30, I published a summary of June 2023. Each post has the following:- Narrative Introduction;
– Podcasts reviews (each review is 25 words or fewer);
– Nerdy Software (25 words or fewer on a piece of software I like);
– Bougie Products (25 words or fewer on a product I like);
– Personal Finance and Investing (advice in 25 words or fewer);
– Reading (each review is 25 words or fewer);
– A List.
The name of my blog comes from a quote that inspires me: “In music, as in everything, the disappearing moment of experience is the firmest reality.” (Benjamin Boretz)
It’s hosted on Buttondown: https://newsletter.disappearingmoment.com/archive
Posts that don’t fit my monthly format are hosted on Sourcehut (via Hugo):

This blog has changed my life. It landed me jobs, it made me become a writer without having to ask (all the book I’ve published so fare were on request of publishers because of my blog). I’m really happy to have all this history and I hope to keep it until my very last post. It is now part of my identity. https://ploum.net/ Auguste I mostly blog about programming and software, or whatever comes across my mind.
One of my favourite posts is
“This is not the Web I’ve Known”, which is about personal websites and the Small Web.
https://dheinemann.com/posts/2022-01-09-this-is-not-the-web-… https://dheinemann.com aurimas13 Mine is about me and how I overcome loneliness that has been a part of my life for third of my life where I speak about my tips, advice and science on this subject. On the way I share my stories. Here it is – https://transcendloneliness.substack.com/ https://transcendloneliness.substack.com/ nickdothutton I’ve been a researcher, engineer, consultant, investor, and product manager in Cyber Security since 1995. Interested in the design and architecture of secure systems and infrastructures, the prospects for strategic software, and the nascent subject of cyber statecraft. I blog at the conflux of these and other related subjects at https://blog.eutopian.ioWriting sporadically as commitments, projects, and the lawyers allow. https://blog.eutopian.io superb-owl Exploring the gaps between science and spirituality https://superbowl.substack.com andreicek Elixir, Ecto, SQL, and a bit of devops notes and ideas.
There is a more personal section that will contain random ideas and observations. https://0x7f.dev/ joshmanders I’m trying to write more, but I am not a great writer nor do I feel my thoughts are worthy (despite many people saying they’d read about them, lol) https://joshmanders.com yogsototh (or its clone https://her.esy.fun)I blog about functional programming (haskell, clojure), but also emacs org-mode, thing like these. I sometimes tell myself I should invest more time to write down more about my thoughts there.
I am happy to be part of the 512kb club.

It is about trying new things, re-starting my life a bit, I think. I plan to write for fun about things that I find interesting and that give me joy, like walking multiple paths of Camino de Santiago or my attempts to return to competitive cycling at 47.

No ads or pop-ups or anything, very simple design, powered by Hugo. https://crisis40.com/english/ abound I lived in a box truck for six years while working at Google and chronicled my thoughts and experiences and shenanigans.
Still not sure what I’ll do with the blog going forward, my current life being significantly less novel. https://frominsidethebox.com tomodachi94 Some Python and Lua content, as well as some other niche content. https://tomodachi94.github.io brntn I’m a web developer, so I end up mostly writing about Python / Django related topics in that space, but really it’s anything tech related. https://brntn.me octed It’s pretty new, first post was made in September of 2022. I’ve been going at the speed of ~1 post per month since then so I got 8 posts.
I mostly talk about stuff I’ve been learning about. For instance:
1. Lagrangian mechanics I [https://oktagonia.github.io/blog/lanlifshitz_1/notes.html] and II [https://oktagonia.github.io/blog/lanlifshitz_2/notes.html]
2. Group theory (solubility and symmetric groups in particular) [https://oktagonia.github.io/blog/insolubility/p.html]
Besides this, I occasionally write about some of my own explorations as well; stuff that doesn’t fit as neatly into a university course format:
1. Going over a random lemma from Newton’s Principia [https://oktagonia.github.io/blog/lemma14/lemma14.html]

So many great websites, it almost reminds one of the good old days, where you could wander from one blog to another.I have ended up with two blogs and by no means update them often enough. My personal blog started out as being tech-focused with a bit of photography and motorcycle content, but is probably leaning more and more in way of photography and motorcycles.

Hi there

Hence I started a more simple static site generated from Github to handle the more tech-oriented topics. But as fate would have it, I have worked very little with any even mildly interesting tech-related subjects since then so the blog is a bit stale, even though I really like the design.
https://jmreiche.github.io/ https://jesperreiche.com/ jhpacker Analytics experiments and opinion, around 10 years of back deep dive articles — mostly Google Analytics web performance, bots, SEO. https://www.quantable.com/blog tverbeure I’m closing in on the 100 blog posts mark. Almost all are about pretty esoteric electronics topics (by HN standards) that I’ve been learning about myself.
I rarely get a lot of traction, but that’s to be expected given the topics.
I do get a bit of a kick out of the fact that many of my blog posts will end up in the top 5 Google results when you search for one or two words of the subject. There’s just not a lot of people who write about the HP 11720A pulse generator… https://tomverbeure.github.io midzer DJ sets, philosophical stuff, simple recipes, tech tutorials [DE/EN] https://midzer.de/ codybontecou Primarily writing about Vue, Nuxt, Node, and Python content. I’m starting to dig into VisionOS and SwiftUI and hope to write about that soon. https://codybontecou.com/ ozcap https://blog.oscars.dev ntietz All roughly related to software engineering, weekly cadence. Sometimes philosophical, sometimes technical, sometimes just random observations. Mostly it’s about whatever is on my mind re: software at the moment or what I’m playing around with at the time.
I don’t read the comments on discussion forums usually, but emails I will always read and respond to emails and I’m always grateful for the feedback. https://ntietz.com tobilg Pretty new, started blogging again after many years, focussing on data and AWS topics- Using DuckDB in AWS Lambda https://tobilg.com/using-duckdb-in-aws-lambda

These days I generally use it as a place to write up notes on whatever I happened to be working on recently. This is sometimes useful for me to refer back to, and hopefully useful for others too.
On one occasion I searched on Google to try and help solve a programming problem, only to find a post from myself published 8 months earlier, in which I had solved that exact same problem:
https://sam.hooke.me/post/2018/10/that-weird-feeling/
Before becoming a full time software engineer I used to develop video games for fun, initially in Game Maker but then later in Unity and other languages. Over time I’m aiming to (re)publish them on my website, rather than just leaving them to rot on my hard drive. None were particularly big hits back in the day, though the most successful was probably Dominos 2: Winter Edition, a physics based platformer with level editor. You can play it here:
https://sam.hooke.me/game/dominos-2-winter-edition/ https://sam.hooke.me asimpletune I haven’t blogged in a while, but I’ve got some stuff coming out, hopefully soon. https://spenc.es/ pards I write sporadically about programming, technology, methodology, and team structures. https://craigpardey.com davelondon – my adventures in the mountains https://www.wildernessprime.com/ divan Top posts:

Haven’t been posting lately – COVID+War, plus my main focus now on radical reforming sports system in Ukraine and building a new figure skating federation (a lot of cool coding stuff there too, but also a lot of research on sports governance/science). https://divan.dev bhoey I try to write up helpful or interesting pieces I feel either aren’t covered sufficiently elsewhere or for my own reference.
Covers a pretty wide array of technologies (software architecture, messaging systems, DBMSs, etc).
I generally try to target the intermediate level that often gets lost in the spectrum between surface-level intros or expert level deep dives. My hope is that someone gains an better understanding or discovers a new practical tool or approach that they can then use to better their life and career. https://bhoey.com/blog/ mad44 Distributed systems, database systems, writing, research, cloud computinghttps://muratbuffalo.blogspot.com https://muratbuffalo.blogspot.com btasker I write about a range of stuff, though there’s usually a tech angle to it https://www.bentasker.co.uk lawrjone Mine is https://blog.lawrencejones.dev/I’ve been working as a software engineer for about a decade now, primarily at startups. Recently the first employee at incident.io, before then working at GoCardless.
Tend to write about lessons I’ve learned that others find useful, or stories I think will be enjoyable. Helps me collect my thoughts and practice my writing!

Occasionally get a popular share on HN or people mentioning they read my blog in real life, which makes it feel worth it. https://blog.lawrencejones.dev/ mib32 You can join me on telegram https://t.me/antonmurygin https://t.me/antonmurygin jonchang Mostly bits of code and explanations that I took notes for and then later realized would make a good blog post. https://jonathanchang.org chupchap It’s a mix of personal thoughts and Salesforce knowledge https://balanarayan.com lhnz I started to do short blogs on algorithmic problems and also neural networks for a beginner-but-tenacious audience. http://sebinsua.com kyrofa Several dozen posts, mostly stuff about Ubuntu, robotics, or other open source things. https://kyrofa.com/ vanjajaja1 It’s a work in progress, I didn’t want to launch yet but will soon https://vanja.oljaca.me amenghra ~100 posts over 15+ years. I don’t update it often anymore, but I still do have those inevitable drafts I never got around to publish. https://quaxio.com/ alexwlchan I passed 400 posts a month or so ago; been writing for about a decade. It’s a mix of programming, arty stuff, digital preservation, personal thoughts – the first link describes the sort of writing I do, and examples of each.
Some favourites:
* https://alexwlchan.net/2022/screenshots/ – You should take more screenshots, a perennial darling of HN

* https://alexwlchan.net/2022/snapped-elastic/ – Finding a tricky bug in Elasticsearch 8.4.2, the sort of deep-dive debugging I don’t do often enough
(And a fairly basic post about prime factorisation with Python has been on the HN front page several times, for reasons I do not understand at all)
https://alexwlchan.net/writing/ cmod Wow, just realized it passed its 21st anniversary last month. A few iterations throughout the years, but the current form is basically 13-ish years old, regularly updated. https://craigmod.com wcerfgba My repository of recipes, art, notes, music, photography, and essays. Software, economics, politics, ethics, food, democracy, etc. https://jpreston.xyz pacifika Some musings on technology, software and society. Powered by a bespoke microblog CMS https://vandragt.com snihalani https://suren.fyi boricj About two months ago, there was an Ask HN about the most interesting interesting tech you built for just yourself [1]. In this topic, I shared about my Ghidra modifications to unlink pieces of an executable back into relocatable object files [2] in an effort to reverse-engineer a PlayStation 1 video game.
Long story short, I’ve wanted to write about this esoteric but powerful technique and it snowballed into starting my own blog with a series of articles about reverse-engineering. It’s still a WIP draft, quite rough around the edges and not ready for prime-time, but you only have that kind of Ask HN thread once (every couple of years I assume).
Side-note: the Google and Bing webcrawlers managed to find and index that domain name despite having no public links to it whatsoever (to my knowledge) until now, my only logical explanation is that they’ve found it by scrapping the WHOIS database. It’s also hosted inside my home on my personal Synology DS218 NAS with a rather dodgy setup, which will probably crash and burn under any level of load by the time you’ve read this comment.

Enjoy! https://djedr.github.io/writing.html ryjo I’ve had various blogs over the years, intermittently contributing to them when the mood strikes. This one is no different :) https://ryjo.codes vintagedave Mostly about UI design and IT management (management sounds boring I know but I hope they’re useful articles. Good, I think, for us who are managers here — and us who are managed!)
It’s a new site. Some of my favorites so far:
– https://daveon.design/what-are-you-optimising-for.html – How managers ask for something and get something else, but think they’re doing a good job
– https://daveon.design/creating-joy-in-the-user-experience.ht… – UX design often looks lovely, but what is it missing? Joy.
– https://daveon.design/metrics-and-mistakes.html – on measuring things… and poetry.
I’m particularly happy with the design of the site: I’d love to hear what readers think of the layout and typography. My CSS style is called ‘manuscript’ and it’s very inspired by older book and manuscript look and feel.
There is zero Javascript and ZERO cookies or tracking. None at all.
RSS and Atom: https://daveon.design/rss.xml and https://daveon.design/atom.xml https://daveon.design/ samldev So far I’ve only got a few posts related to local-first home automation, which for me is Home Assistant and my open source library gome-assistant for writing automations in Go.
I plan to add some write ups for my woodworking projects as well when I get around to it. It exists for me to share things with friends/family and any others that are interested, and I don’t intend to force myself to write on any particular cadence. https://saml.dev akkartik Since 2012 I have a one-track mind. I want a world with:
* hundreds of software products for any need (mostly check)
* that can all be easily modified by hundreds of thousands of people,
* creating tens of thousands of forks,
* publishing thousands of forks
* used by millions of people.

for other stuff https://umtksa.net alanbernstein Math, coding, tinkering. http://blog.alanbernstein.net/ rainingdeerbox Not all that active, but https://blog.jmthornton.netI write occasionally about Emacs, full-stack development and other random stuff https://blog.jmthornton.net TomasD Few tech posts before OpenShift SRE role at Red Hat https://www.tomas.io mutagen Mostly personal and a little bit of photos https://chris.cothrun.com/ mrhat I’ve been trying to write more consistently (2x month) since the beginning of the year about startup and tech topics in general. I like to share experiences and perspective over organisational, hiring and product topics.
I always liked to do it and had a old WordPress website, but now I decided to code it from scratch to make the blogging experience simpler. Allowing me to drag and drop Word files over the page to create articles. I also blogged about that!
Some of my favorite articles:
David and Goliath (big company v. startup) – https://spaccapeli.com/david-and-goliath
Finding the One (how to hire) – https://spaccapeli.com/finding-the-one
I remastered Facebook Little Red Book (project about remaking in high-quality the best culture startup book out there) – https://spaccapeli.com/i-remastered-facebooks-little-red-boo… https://spaccapeli.com/ mattbgates It is a blog that focuses on jobs, careers, and the workplace, started 10 years ago and receives about two million visits worldwide every month. https://confessionsoftheprofessions.com https://confessionsoftheprofessions.com Seirdy I’m trying to adopt as much IndieWeb as I can while still remaining a static JS-free site (except for the crappy search results page). Comments are Webmentions.
I test compatibility with a lot more than just mainstream browsers: the Tor Browser’s safest mode, various article extractors, NetSurf, Ladybird, w3m, and a dozen other user-agents work well. Accessibility-wise, I’m close to WCAG 2.2 AAA compliance, and have already passed AA; I consider WCAG a starting rather than a stopping point. More on its design is in the “Meta” section.
It has long-form blog articles and short-form notes (microblogs).
My best posts are on the homepage, followed by a bunch of webrings. https://seirdy.one/ hddherman An incomplete list of things that I do as a hobby.
There have been a few posts that have sparked discussions on HN, and quite a few of them relate to the ThinkPad T430. I often jokingly say that this laptop has been a good investment in more ways than one.
Top 3 as judged by HN:
– Why I went back to using a ThinkPad from 2012: https://ounapuu.ee/posts/2022/01/09/why-i-went-back-to-using…
– Shrinkflation, SanDisk Style: https://ounapuu.ee/posts/2023/02/15/shrinkflation/
– Surviving the front page of Hacker News on a 50 Mbps uplink: https://ounapuu.ee/posts/2022/02/09/hn-stats-analytics/ https://ounapuu.ee/ influx , I don’t post much, but mostly technical, SaaS, Python, Linux https://mattmichie.com henry_flower late to the party, buthttps://sigwait.org/~alex/blog/
topics: linux (usually in some sort of critique), javascript, emacs, & random quotes from books I’m reading https://sigwait.org/~alex/blog/ jdsalaro Just chiming in, and quite happy to see this thread pop up! I was having a conversation elsewhere about how it’s up to us to create the internet we want and bring back the allegedly already passed golden age of connection through creation!My blog is https://jdsalaro.com and my latest comparison of programming fonts at https://jdsalaro.com/note/best-programming-fonts is a good place to start :D
Cheers! https://jdsalaro.com igpay pretty random assortment side projects https://www.csun.io/ samsolomon I’m a product designer/UI engineer who’s been publishing since 2009. I’ve probably got 200-something posts.

Also, kind of a personal blog – I scripted a blogging bot that writes a post daily, using the comments from the most commented article on HN, which today is this one:
https://www.eliza-ng.me/ https://www.hotelexistence.ca/me/ LoulouMonkey Hey everyone!
I started this site during the pandemic, mainly to improve my written English. It’s mainly around data science (mostly NLP) / analytics.
I’m trying to publish an article every 3 weeks.

About my hardware (a lot of Arduino) projects and a UX Blog https://marcelv.net nafnlj I started NLJ back in 2020. It is built with WordPress (hosted on Hetzner VPS and managed with Cloudron). I have published more than 800 articles and 350 short-form posts (almost all posts by me, but my friend has published 30something articles). I write about whatever interests me (I tell myself this means there is something for everyone). Common topics include, but are not limited to, tech (digital ownership, open source software, feeds, and my learning Linux), history (usually American or Roman), old books and poems, anime, visual novels (mainly English translations of freeware NScripter/KiriKiri novels), photos from my walks, fictional dialogues, and occasional commentary about life in NYC.

Astro on GH pages. https://jeromesalimao.com/ dom96 Been off and on with blogs over my journey in tech (from blogspot to rolling my own custom static blog generator).

I love using RSS, but how would I go about finding these sources based on things I like?Feels like there should be a Spotify for reading, with “playlists” of articles cherry picked from blogs, and simple Discover Weekly recommendations.
Anyway, I’ll leave mine as well (mostly reverse engineering macOS related):
https://alinpanaitiu.com/
https://notes.alinpanaitiu.com/
…and I’ll probably use the quality data on this thread to build that service I feel should already exist. https://alinpanaitiu.com/ wittbenji I write satire in short form posts a couple of times a week. Often it’s about AI and tech, but really anything that makes me laugh.

https://dustinfreeman.org/blog/ ktkaufman I don’t post a lot, but when I do, I try to make it interesting. So far I’ve covered:
– a creative use of Rust’s type system (https://ktkaufman03.github.io/blog/2023/04/20/rust-compile-t…)
– taking a deep dive into some obscure, closed-source scanner drivers, and ultimately creating new ones (https://ktkaufman03.github.io/blog/2022/09/04/pakon-reverse-…)
I do have some more posts planned for the not-so-distant future, which I think will be interesting!

The majority of topics relate to ASIC design and verification, since that is my day job, but with some other side projects mixed in. https://www.prbs23.com/blog/ mkeeter Between the “blog” and “projects” categories, it’s about 80 posts dating back to 2008 (wow).
In recent years, it’s tended towards an eclectic mix of low-level programming, graphics research, and electrical engineering.

I used to have a large blog ten years ago, with at least one post per day, because every blog guru on the internet said you needed to post every day to grow an audience. But I’m not smart enough to have something interesting to say every day, so it was rather poor quality. So I started this new iteration from scratch and post once or twice a year, mostly about software design. https://nicollet.net herbertl — I don’t write much technical content, I usually cover marketing, creativity, and the human condition.Sharing a few posts that have resonated at hn, and highlighting the discussion (which I’ve found just as interesting—if not more so—as writing the post):

Have just been starting this really. Any feedback much appreciated. https://rpep.dev/posts/alpine-python-antipattern/ tomjuggler Great thread, bookmarked this one! I started programming over 10 years ago so I could make my own circus equipment.I mainly blog about my IOT LED projects but there is a lot of creative coding as well which might be interesting to some.
Actually hit the front page of HN once with a post about how Ubuntu Snap update spoiled my world cup final (that ddosed my site with HN visitors, site was down for 2 days)

Blog

https://www.circusscientist.com/blog/ dijit Mostly I rant about things and it becomes a jumbled mess of crap. My issue is keeping things short.
More interesting than my blog is the discussions that happen because of them: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu…
Interesting ones include:

https://sudhar.xyz/competence-bubble http://sudhar.xyz/ janetacarr I write a lot about Clojure and software developer with Clojure. I only have like a dozen posts though, but people seem to like them (mostly). https://blog.janetacarr.com wessorh I write about my life farming and flying and a bit on my thoughts on current events, like a few times i died recently. https://cyberwarhead.com/ palidanx A scattering of personal newsletters, tech, and data engineering. For the personal newsletters that involve traveling, what I do is journal every day while I am in the destination country, and then when I’m at home, begin writing. Each travel post takes about 40 hours of writing, editing, and picture selection.
For the travel posts, I try not to rehash a history of a place (you probably could watch a youtube video or read a book for better perspective), but instead try to find something hopefully new and insightful to reveal
EG

I publish them bi-weekly via my newsletter, Every Intention.
Top articles: https://ashleyjanssen.com/top-articles/ https://ashleyjanssen.com/ mgaudet for general interest stuff, https://www.mgaudet.ca/technical for tech stuff.Some good ones IMO:
– Implementing Private Fields for JavaScript https://www.mgaudet.ca/technical/2021/5/4/implementing-priva…
– Histories, by Herodotus: https://www.mgaudet.ca/blog/2020/11/26/histories-by-herodotu… https://www.mgaudet.ca/ adrianmsmith Software, Coding, Databases, etc.
I’ve been writing the blog for about 20 years now.

– List of categories (Java, PostgreSQL, etc.): https://www.databasesandlife.com/categories/
Started life on uboot.com (does anyone remember that?) then migrated to WordPress, and now Hugo.
The only articles which really get any hits any more are those where I’ve specifically solved problems I was having, i.e. posts which are similar to Stack Overflow answers. I guess people search for the error messages and find my articles, so that’s search working as intended I guess.
If I write anything else e.g. my thoughts on software development, it’s still a useful exercise to focus the mind, and I can send the article to a few mates and they might read it, but that’s it, no hits from Google etc.
Back in the days of Google Reader I used to have some readers via RSS, and I used to follow a number of interesting blogs from various individuals I’d found. Those were nice times, but I guess they’re over. https://www.databasesandlife.com/ viralpoetry I write mostly about the security and things I work on, to keep memories somewhere.
One of my posts about the google bug bounty for the Waze navigation bug went viral and was shared by Schneier, Threat Post and others
https://www.malgregator.com/post/waze-how-i-tracked-your-mot… https://www.malgregator.com/ langsoul-com General writing about musings on the world. Sometimes that’s about how everyone in a big city is an npc. Why erotica exists in a world of free unlimited porn.
One of my first posts was about how Chinese anime migh die off due to the heavy handed censorship of stories over there. The same 10 acceptable stories aren’t interesting enough to go outside China.
Made with Php, laravel, statamic as the CMS and static site builder. Hosted on surge.sh.
Wanted to move to cloudflare pages, but doesn’t support Php 8+ yet for the build process. https://langsoul.com gsaines I started this one about six months ago as a way to indulge my passion for hacking wealth. No technical topics, but I’ve been writing about startups and businesses regularly. This series might be the most applicable to folks on Hacker News: https://overthinkingmoney.com/2023/05/02/start-a-business-no…https://www.georgesaines.com/
My personal blog. I originally started it when I was running my first company to document the stuff I learned. It’s been around in various incarnations since 2008, but I don’t blog very often. In the last couple of years, it’s devolved into personal book and movie reviews. If you like indie movies or nonfiction, give it a read! https://overthinkingmoney.com/ nyanpasu64 I write about hobby projects including CRTs and analog video, basic electrical engineering, and technology/programming/audio tinkering. The website is implemented in Zola using a customized template. https://nyanpasu64.gitlab.io/ lpolovets I mostly write about startups and fundraising from the POV of an engineer turned VC. The posts have gotten much less frequent over time, but I have a few good drafts that I hope to publish by the end of the year.
My two most popular posts so far:
How to de-risk a startup (https://www.codingvc.com/p/how-to-de-risk-a-startup)
Salary and equity benchmarks based on AngelList data (https://www.codingvc.com/p/analyzing-angellist-job-postings-…)
The posts below are less popular, but they’re my personal favorites. Apologies in advance for poor formatting, I migrated to Substack a while ago and still need to fix some of the internal links.

( The engine has tons of cool things but not very documented )
One topic for instance is Component Visualizers, super helpful to work in the editor:
– https://www.quodsoler.com/blog/unreal-engine-component-visua…
I plan to share more on the Gameplay Ability System and other topics as well.
Finally, lately I have started a weekly newsletter to help Solo Game developers:
https://www.quodsoler.com/unreal-solo-game-developer
Hope someone finds this helpful! https://www.quodsoler.com dannycastonguay When I find myself repeating the same topic, I write it down for future reference.
Writing is enjoyable, with the added anticipation that my children will read it someday (with mild embarrassment). https://blog.dannycastonguay.com/ mjgs Really liking the idea of a blog revival.I’m still posting after all these years. I have a blog, linkblog, podcast and newsletter. Currently still quite minimal. I’m trying to ensure it works well with little to no CSS, then progressively enhance it so it looks a bit nicer later. It’s slow going at the minute, created via a custom static site generator which works really well. Hoping to open source when the world / life allows.
Anyhow here you will find the latest:
https://markjgsmith.com/latest https://markjgsmith.com/latest dblack12705 “Some things that aren’t worth doing are worth overdoing.”
I write about physics, language, and history, or whatever interests me at the moment, with an overarching theme of spending way too much effort analyzing useless topics. Here’s some of my favorites:
https://maximumeffort.substack.com/p/the-tyranny-of-the-wago…
I derive an expression for number of donkeys needed to move an army a distance L, and discuss its relationship to the tyranny of the rocket equation.
https://maximumeffort.substack.com/p/guinea-pigs-are-fermion…
I postulate that Guinea pigs are fermions, and simulate the quantum dynamics of multi-pig states.
https://maximumeffort.substack.com/p/a-statistical-analysis-…
I attempt to answer the timeless question of whether the characters in Wheel of Time sniff in disapproval more than average.

https://0xff.nu/I write about my (previous) PHP and Python projects as well as experiments and opinions on the small-web. https://0xff.nu/ danielskogly My most popular post, at least here on HN, is about how Cloudflare Images had a lot of issues ~1.5 years ago – unfortunately they still do too. A previous PM for the product told me at one point that he and the team was “very well aware” of my article, and it was at one point one of the top ranking search results for “Cloudflare Images” too.
I’m currently writing a post about how I discovered I have low-frequency tinnitus. https://blog.klungo.no/ transistor-man Some technical projects and adventures ranging from snowy robots to acrylic painting arms and everything in between. https://transistor-man.com cookiengineer I don’t have many posts, but some ideas in the pipeline that I’m working on. Planning on documenting a lot more about the hardware tinkering I am doing.
I also added a bunch of secrets and games to the website, with the idea that the source code can be used to explore and learn. There’s even an unsolved crypto puzzle in there, but it seems to be a little too hard considering it’s been unsolved for over 10 years now. https://cookie.engineer rushter Most of my posts are about Python’s internals and some security stuff https://rushter.com maltris Its mostly german, but nowadays the translators work quite well for german to english (vice versa not so much), so I will post them anyway:https://autotagebuch.net – car repairs and experiences
https://maltris.org – my personal thing, rarely used
https://coders-home.de – small hacks and experiences of technical nature https://autotagebuch.net tiim I just post random stuff, mostly things that took me a while to figure out, and which would otherwise just sit in my notes. https://tiim.ch/blog frantzmiccoli I really enjoy this thread, thanks for opening it!On my end:

I am afraid that my non native english make the content less pleasant to read ;-)
I have been blogging since a long time, including a blog with more than hundreds of articles that I am not sharing. It’s strange when you realise that you basically could have written two or three non fiction books.
Of the shared content, the ones I think are the most interesting are:
– A post mortem analysis about a solo startup project https://outofthecomfortzone.frantzmiccoli.com/thoughts/2016/…
– The recent articles about generative on the second blog.
– A write up about a very cool data science project around smart watches https://thedarkside.frantzmiccoli.com/experimentations/2016/…
– Debugging randomness https://thedarkside.frantzmiccoli.com/tricks/2015/11/11/debu… https://thedarkside.frantzmiccoli.com/ 11mariom DevOps, Cloud related topics mostly. Sometimes some guides / howtos, sometimes my thoughts around technologies I use.
Started this year, few posts already there. I wanted to post on weekly basis, but well ;)
It’s my 3rd or even 4th attempt at blogging. Previously I was writing in Polish so I didn’t bother keeping archive, also the break was pretty long and everything got really outdated already. https://blog.mariom.pl/ lucasfcosta I frequently write at https://lucasfcosta.com.It’s been on the front-page here quite often.
Especially these posts:
– Useful engineering metrics and why velocity is not one of them – https://lucasfcosta.com/2022/08/31/engineering-metrics.html
– You don’t need Scrum. You just need to do Kanban right.
– https://lucasfcosta.com/2022/10/02/scrum-versus-kanban.html
– Why deadlines are pointless and what to do instead
– https://lucasfcosta.com/2022/09/15/deadlines.html https://lucasfcosta.com dash2 – it’s occasionally been on the front page, mostly at weekends: “social science, genetics, history, culture and politics. The drunken ramblings of two Tang-dynasty poets may also feature.” https://wyclif.substack.com TimeWasterPro I really need to add more content. About 90% of the content is still in drafts. It’s really my online notebook. I add content when I either organize my old files or finally find some free time. Tell me what you think.
It covers everything from software, ML, CNC, Wled, Robots, High voltage, and etc.

Articles on software architecture. I’m also looking to make new friends to discuss these topics. Working remotely in my 30s from a not-major-city makes this difficult. In my blog there’s a place to leave your email if you’d be up for it. https://max.engineer tminima RSS: https://shivamrana.me/feed.xmlI write about random experiments I do in my life (data science, personal analytics, reviews, travel, etc). Been travelling a lot this year, but haven’t been able to write about it much. Hoping to change that in the next few weeks. https://shivamrana.me/ squeek502 A few Zig related posts, but the posts I like the most are some technical posts about the Quake/GoldSrc/Source engines:
– Rampsliding Is a Quake Engine Quirk in the Same Way That Bunnyhopping Is: https://www.ryanliptak.com/blog/rampsliding-quake-engine-qui…
– Source vs GoldSrc Movement: Downward Slopes: https://www.ryanliptak.com/blog/source-vs-goldsrc-movement-s… https://www.ryanliptak.com/blog/ icinganalysis I blog about the development of aircraft ice protection in the era of the
National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA, 1918 to 1958, a predecessor to NASA).
An amazing amount of analysis was conducted with analog computers, and many of the results are still found in design manuals today. https://icinganalysis.github.io/ eldridgea I write about tech culture/ethics, security and privacy online, and random technical projects I’ve been working on.

I also wrote some more general pieces about building software, products and companies at https://ghinda.com/blog but did not had too much time lately also for that part. https://allaboutcoding.ghinda.com snewman I maintain two, with pretty different content. Both are intended to explore deep topics (AI and climate change, respectively), aiming for a middle ground between academic papers (meaty, but often hard to understand + contextualize if you’re not already an expert) and popular press (often over-simplified or off the mark).https://amistrongeryet.substack.com/ – was intended to be a general “things I’ve learned
