> The reality is that most interesting dev articles are about relatively unusual problems that a dev solved in an innovative way

Do you have a list of those articles? And which sites do you visit to find those articles?

Thank you for this list. It's ironic that I've seen so many "Awesome.. curated" lists but this is the first one I really want to go through.
Re:The collapsing quality of dev.to (2021) by pizza234 on Saturday June 25, 2022 @10:09AM (#31875419)
The few "awesome" (and "are we X yet") lists I've seen/contributed to were terrible; they have a very low barrier to entrance, and a very high barrier to exit - which made them nothing more than landfills, essentially. I think the valuable lists are personal ones.
Re:The collapsing quality of dev.to (2021) by antifa on Saturday June 25, 2022 @10:31AM (#31875599)
I've had pretty good experiences with "awesome lists", usually if the topic is language or framework and I just want a concise list of mature things related to topic. Other examples I've personally enjoyed:

https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted

https://github.com/255kb/stack-on-a-budget

https://github.com/cloudcommunity/Cloud-Free-Tier-Comparison

Re:The collapsing quality of dev.to (2021) by tapland on Saturday June 25, 2022 @06:49AM (#31874182)
I instantly found things in your list that will solve issues with some side projects and allow me to get them up and running.

A big thanks

Lobste.rs frankly.

More programming oriented, less ego boosting.

How does one get an invite to join though? The suggestion seems to be to scroll through a list of hundreds of online handles to see if you know someone by their pseudonym, and assumes you can reach them out of band, which is obviously not going to work for the vast majority of people.

I’ll invite you.

Just send me an email.

Re:The collapsing quality of dev.to (2021) by phlummox on Saturday June 25, 2022 @09:12AM (#31875021)
Might I email you as well? I'm a regular lobste.rs reader, but not yet a member.
Re:The collapsing quality of dev.to (2021) by sshine on Saturday June 25, 2022 @09:29AM (#31875155)
Yes. You should just have gone ahead and emailed me, since now I have to respond both here and there. ;-)
Re:The collapsing quality of dev.to (2021) by DunbarTrout on Saturday June 25, 2022 @03:04PM (#31877793)
Late to the party but I've been really enjoying lobste.rs and been passively trying to get an account. Would you be able to facilitate this?
