> I am sure we all read Coding Horror, Spolsky, Zed and Hanselman

Not so much.

HN seems insistent on keeping me up to date about it. ;)

Agreed. HN is the best aggregator for hacker/dev content

The post you replied to appears to be referencing FogBugz specifically.

Clearly a Microsoft person. A quick peek at his profile actually says, "I work at Microsoft. I don't want anyone to be confused on that point."

Not that there's anything wrong with that. I do find it funny that he put Zed in that list.

I like Steve Yegge's archive, especially the original "internal amazon blog" (2004-2005): http://steve.yegge.googlepages.com/blog-rants

Planet Apache can be interesting (an aggregator of apache committers). Extreme variation in quality, but James Duncan Davidson and Sam Ruby and a few others make it all worth it: http://planet.apache.org/committers/

Anton Chuvakin for security: http://chuvakin.blogspot.com/

Sam Ruby has his own Planet set up too; I find it to be pretty relevant: http://planet.intertwingly.net

What I do is use sites like Hacker news to discover other sites - if I like a story, I'll check the rest of the site to see if the author writes consistently good stuff, and if so subscribe.

I've found a lot of cool stuff that way.

I just recently started reading that site (thanks to HN). Wow. I've never felt so inadequate as a programmer.

I don't have any specific blogs for you at the moment, but go with someone who is smart but unknown. Unknowns have to produce good content to stay afloat. At this point Coding Horror and Spolsky can get away with just about anything because of their success. It's too easy to assume that the big names are correct without critically thinking about their words.

The best blogs for me, are those that are not for the great hacker public, but for smaller audiences. Blogs about mathematics, data mining, computer vision, and so on. Coding Horror, Spolsky and the alike only talk about generalities and aren't really useful to me.

I enjoy DadHacker a lot, partly because I enjoy anecdotes, but mostly because Landon writes extremely well and seems like a nice guy without an agenda (unlike Joel and friends). I also used to read _why's blog from time to time before he vanished.

Mostly I just follow HN and proggit. I'm not very big on blogs.

- http://wilshipley.com

- http://lbrandy.com

- http://nedbatchelder.com

- http://www.teamten.com/lawrence/writings/
