Here will lie articles, resources, notes and the like relating to my career. It differ with 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 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 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.
