People/Resources I Follow

This blog lists all the different resources I follow to receive software-engineering relevant content from outside company. Such a list can never be complete, so it will continue to grow.

Paraphrasing Joe Armstrong - good content leads to other good content, so I am sure these resources will continue to lead to more good resources.
