Some blogs to keep you Inspired
I love blogging. It’s how I clarify my own ideas, and if I’m lucky, inspire someone else along the way. I’ve been reading blogs since I was a kid, but publishing my own always felt intimidating. The internet can be harsh! But I’ve learned to embrace the mantra: Ready, fire, aim!
I owe so much to the writers who pushed past their fears and hit "publish." Their work changed my career, my thinking, and even my daily habits. Now, I want to pay it forward. Below are some of the blogs and creators who’ve shaped me. Hopefully they’ll do the same for you.
Joel on Software by Joel Spolsky
Coding Horror by Jeff Atwood
Jeff Atwood didn’t just co-found StackOverflow and Discourse, two platforms that reshaped how developers learn and communicate. He also wrote one of the most influential programming blogs of the 2000s.
What stuck with me weren’t just the technical insights (though there were plenty). It was his philosophy: "Programming is not just about code, it’s about people." His posts mixed hard-won lessons with dry humor, demystifying everything from database design to Just in Time Nudges.
I binged his archives cover-to-cover before mustering the courage to start my own blog. If you’ve ever felt like an impostor, read Coding Horror, then go write something.
