Stephanie Hurlburt

Dan Luu has a list of programming blogs you might like: https://danluu.com/programming-blogs/. The rest of his blog is good too!

a few of my favorite blogs:

- http://blog.acolyer.org for fantastic daily summaries of CS papers.

- http://stephaniehurlburt.com/blog/ -- she has a business creating a new compression algorithm and I love reading about it

- https://rachelbythebay.com/w/ is pure gold for weird debugging stories

- https://accidentallyquadratic.tumblr.com/ is always a fun read

- http://wingolog.org/ on building compilers

- http://composition.al/blog -- Lindsey Kuper on her programming languages research

- aphyr's blog on distributed systems, of course

- https://charity.wtf/

- http://www.pgbovine.net/writings.htm -- Philip Guo is a CS professor whose blog on his experiences in academia I really like

- http://whilefalse.blogspot.com by Camille Fournier, mostly on engineering management

- http://larahogan.me/blog/ by Lara Hogan, on engineering management

Also I think this comment from Dan's blog (https://danluu.com/about/) is very true and important:

> I view that as a sign there’s a desperate shortage of understandable explanation of technical topics. There’s nothing here that most of my co-workers don’t know (with the exception of maybe three or four posts where I propose novel ideas). It’s just that they don’t blog and I do. I’m not going to try to convince you to start writing a blog, since that has to be something you want to do, but I will point out…

Also in case anyone is going to suggest something project-like please something in the direction of HFT/OS/Systems related as opposed to game programming? There are loads of stuff out there for C++ related to game programming.

For OP:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/388242/the-definitive-c-book-guide-and-list/388282#388282

Also some C++ related YT channels such as TheChernoProject, CppCon etc

Following the respective reddit and slack communities is also extremely helpful.

Also get your hands dirty with this: https://github.com/vitalets/github-trending-repos

or https://github.com/fffaraz/awesome-cpp
There is more but this should do.

Good Luck! :-)

This is a great start — finding good mentors is too hard.

My favourites so far:

1. Stephanie Hurlburt has a list of developers willing to mentor others:

Some resources from that list:

2. I've used and enjoyed Codementor's “find an expert” for paid help:
