I'm also providing short summaries of each article. Here's a recent issue: https://bigtechdigest.substack.com/p/big-tech-digest-9

I think the goal here is to build a free data harvesting machine for building LLMs.

(and also a shameless plug: I featured this article in my last newsletter https://bigtechdigest.substack.com/p/most-read-tech-articles...)

There is no easy way to get the number of “reads” of an article, so the task was quite challenging. Instead, I looked at engagement across HN-like websites (Hackernews, Reddit, and X). Then, I used some Python and Jupyter to build the final list.
Neither a book nor a blog, but I'm building a newsletter that aggregates the latest articles from company engineering blogs. I think you might find it useful: http://bigtechdigest.substack.com

Most read tech articles across engineering blogs this year.
Re:Ask HN: How to get good at software system architecture on Tuesday December 26, 2023 @02:46AM (#38769672)
Have a look at a newsletter called "Big Tech Digest". It provides you with the latest articles from hundreds of engineering blogs like Meta, Google, Uber, Airbnb, Doordash, etc. every two weeks. Very useful for building knowledge around system architecture.

ps. I'm the author :)

Re:Ask HN: When is pure functional programming beneficial? on Thursday July 13, 2023 @02:15PM (#36713700)
Pure FP is fantastic when you're doing Domain-Driven Design. Optics is brilliant for working with aggregates, functional core imperative shell to structure the dependencies within the applications and put the domain in the center, monads and applicatives to achieve different component composition styles.
