Here will lie articles, resources, notes and the like relating to my career. It differ with [[https://www.zainezq.com/posts/career/career-list.html][this]] page in the sense that this one will contain:
|
||
|
||
- Ideas
|
||
- Thoughts
|
||
- Notes
|
||
- Videos to watch
|
||
- Articles to read
|
||
- Resources to check out
|
||
- And other things
|
||
|
||
Whereas [[https://www.zainezq.com/posts/career/career-list.html][this]] page will contain /finished/ notes regarding what I'm learning at different points in my career. For instance, the majority of November was learning about Software Engineering principles; things like requirements, user stories, lean and retrospectives.

* News Outlets:
|
||
Here are the best ones I’d actually use for a **10-minute morning software engineer catch-up**:
|
||
|
||
| Outlet | Best for | How to use it |
|
||
| **TLDR Tech** | Fast daily summaries of startups, programming, AI, tools | Probably the best “read with coffee” option. It is designed as a 5-minute daily tech newsletter. [fn:1] |
|
||
| **Hacker News** | What developers are discussing right now | Skim the top 5 posts, but don’t get dragged into every comment thread. Great for trends, new tools, and engineering debates. [fn:2] |
|
||
| **InfoQ** | Serious software engineering, architecture, DevOps, backend trends | Better for deeper engineering updates rather than quick gossip/news. It focuses on software development trends and best practices. [fn:3] |
|
||
| **The Pragmatic Engineer** | Big tech, startups, engineering culture, career insights | Very good for understanding what is happening inside tech companies and engineering teams. [fn:4] |
|
||
| **GitHub Blog / GitHub Changelog** | Developer tooling, GitHub features, CI/CD, Copilot, security updates | Useful because changes here can directly affect your workflow. The changelog covers GitHub product updates in one place. [fn:5] |
|
||
| **Stack Overflow Blog** | Programming practice, developer surveys, AI/dev trends | Good for broader developer ecosystem articles and opinions around programming. [fn:6] |
|
||
| **BleepingComputer** | Cybersecurity news you should know | Worth checking briefly, especially if you work with web apps, authentication, dependencies, or infrastructure. [fn:7] |
|
||
| **Ars Technica** | Tech policy, AI, operating systems, security, wider tech context | More general than software-engineering-specific, but useful for understanding the bigger tech landscape. [fn:8] |
|
||
| **The Register** | Enterprise tech, cloud, security, software industry news | Good if you want a slightly more blunt, IT/professional angle on tech news. [fn:9] |
|
||
| **The Changelog** | Open source and developer ecosystem news | Better as a weekly listen/read rather than daily, but useful for open-source updates. [fn:10] |
|
||
For your **10-minute morning routine**, I’d keep it simple:
|
||
|
||
**Daily:**
|
||
|
||
1. **TLDR Tech** — 5 minutes
|
||
2. **Hacker News** — 3 minutes
|
||
3. **BleepingComputer or GitHub Changelog** — 2 minutes
|
||
|
||
**Once or twice a week:**
|
||
Read **The Pragmatic Engineer** or **InfoQ** for something more thoughtful and career/architecture-focused.
|
||
|
||
My personal pick for you would be: **TLDR Tech + Hacker News + GitHub Changelog**, then **InfoQ** when you want something more useful for uni/project/dissertation-level software engineering.
