When I was learning programming (around 2008) one of the first things I did was to search for "programming blog" on Google. I found amazing blogs like Coding Horror, Joel on Software and Steve Yegge this way. My real education began that day by binge-reading them. But these days the web is full of low-quality Medium blogspam. Can you guys recommend high quality blogs/articles about programming on either gemini or the web (or books)? I'm mostly interested in software architecture, coding style, open source etc. but will read anything interesting.

I miss Joel on Software. His writing style really spoke to me. A huge influence on me back in the day. 路 2 years ago
Yeah I think it's rough to find good content in this part of the blogosphere. Everyone is trying so hard to build a brand that they don't really write anything worth reading. Here's a few tips: https://nullprogram.com/ https://meatfighter.com/ 路 2 years ago

I don't think anyone on gemini writes dedicated blog content regarding these things on a professional level, recurringly. @marginalia writes about building search engines, but sometimes on antenna you'll find someone write something really good 路 2 years ago
