I’ve seen people call themselves “senior” after 3 years on the job, other become CTOs in the same time, and others still have a senior title after 20(!) years in the industry yet have a fuckton of technical experience....
I am looking for old-school (html only, mininalist design) programming blogs, that are mainly focused on math, algorithms or systems programming. I also don’t mind a few rants, movies or books reviews, but the content should be mainly technical. Preferred languages: C, C++, go, maybe Rust. Java or Kotlin are also cool as long...
HN is still a good resource, but I wish spending my time reading what real people have to say, even if i disagree. A lot of articles there are about subjects, or written by “entities” that are not on my radar.
lobste.rs is my favourite hn alternative, but considerably smaller. At least people there are more civil, and being part of the site for a few years made me feel part of community, as i already (virtually) know some of the people there, and appreciate their opinions.
Still, nothing beats the “curation” of content you can achieve by maintaining your own RSS feeds list.
