Here will lie articles, resources, notes and the like relating to my career. It differ with [this](https://www.zainezq.com/posts/career/career-list.html) 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 [this](https://www.zainezq.com/posts/career/career-list.html) 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 Id 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. [^1] |
| ****Hacker News**** | What developers are discussing right now | Skim the top 5 posts, but dont get dragged into every comment thread. Great for trends, new tools, and engineering debates. [^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. [^3] |
| ****The Pragmatic Engineer**** | Big tech, startups, engineering culture, career insights | Very good for understanding what is happening inside tech companies and engineering teams. [^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. [^5] |
| ****Stack Overflow Blog**** | Programming practice, developer surveys, AI/dev trends | Good for broader developer ecosystem articles and opinions around programming. [^6] |
| ****BleepingComputer**** | Cybersecurity news you should know | Worth checking briefly, especially if you work with web apps, authentication, dependencies, or infrastructure. [^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. [^8] |
| ****The Register**** | Enterprise tech, cloud, security, software industry news | Good if you want a slightly more blunt, IT/professional angle on tech news. [^9] |
| ****The Changelog**** | Open source and developer ecosystem news | Better as a weekly listen/read rather than daily, but useful for open-source updates. [^10] |
****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.
