Here is a curated list of my favorite blogs:

• Protesilaos Stavrou: Prot is a well known member of the emacs community, he is also a very unique person. He lives alone in a poor area in the mountains, with just a few hours of electricity if there is sun, and maintains various emacs packages. He has an education in philosophy and a youtube channel where he mainly talks about emacs, philosophy and him building his modest house. There is really a lot to learn from a person like him.
• Julio Merino: I found him on hackernews and it really fitted my interests. He talks about low level programming / hardware and he is very knowledgeable about it. I find all of his blogs really interesting and with an old school feel.
• Salvatore Sanfilippo: Finally some Italian here! Salvatore is an exceptional programmer and the founder of Redis. He is always very interesting to listen to, he has a youtube channel and often has strong opinions about software and work life, which I admire.
• LWN : The main medium for talking about the linux kernel other than the mailing lists, LWN is a very important website in the history and development of the linux community.
• people.kernel.org: a collection of blog posts from kernel maintainers.
• Eli Bendersky: Very interesting, he often delves into math which I really enjoy.
• Phoronix: The best news site for linux kernel related things, after LWN. I noticed that whenever I was looking for benchmarks, the best were always from a certain Michael Larabel, so I dig deeper and discovered his website and his software to do benchmarking, which is totally awesome.
• Brendan Gregg: Very competent programmer focusing on performance evaluation. He created the flamegraph tool.
• HackerNews: I browse HackerNews daily to see what people are talking about.
• lobste.rs: Similar to HackerNews, but more technical
• Vaxry: This is the blog of the creator of Hyprland. Even if I don't use hyprland anymore, he is a 10x programmer.
• Arxiv: This isn't really a blog, but its a scientific publications website. I am subscribed to some subjects and I regularly read it (I mainly follow cs.OS, and some others for fun). It's my main source for discovering papers.
• Other programmers: Fabrice Bellard, Fabien Sanglard, kevingal, Colin Percival, Paul Graham
• AI: Chip Huyen
• Great Mathematicians / Scientists I follow: Math ∩ Programming, Terence Tao, Stephen Wolfram, Azimuth.
• I also follow many more people on Mastodon and on Youtube

And many many more, those are only a few mentions. I will try to keep this list up to date.

To discover blogs, I usually:

• browse hackernews daily
• stalker people in mailing lists / open source projects that I follow
• look at indieblog sometimes
• in general, be curious about the people behind the code, and assume that most good programmers have a blog

I use gnus as my feeds aggregator.
