    What HN people wrote when they linked it

    • theknarfJul 2017

      Let's see. Often when I find something interesting on HN or Reddit I might see if the author writes other interesting posts and subscribe to their blog on Feedly. I currently have a few hundred sources that I subscribe to so it might be a bit hard for me to choose which "blogs" I'd promote. But there are some:

      - https://blog.codinghorror.com/

      - http://www.pentadact.com/

      - http://procworld.blogspot.no/

      - https://moviecode.tumblr.com/

      - http://hackaday.com/

      - https://research.googleblog.com/

      - https://gpuofthebrain.com/

      - https://xkcd.com/

      - http://oglaf.com/

      This is an almost random selection of some of the blogs that I subscribe to.

      This one is interesting. It actually gives the appearance of having something to do with the subject matter.
