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

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

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.

Re:Ask HN: When is pure functional programming beneficial?

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.
