Developer Blogs

Before there was Twitter, I used to say that if you want to be a developer, you need a blog.

I still say that.

Would you trade any of these blogs for their Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram accounts? I wouldn’t.

My most sincere apologies to everybody who’s not on the above list who should be. This was made via a quick glance through my RSS reader, and I just stopped when the list felt big.

Notice that the domains are all custom. Some of these may be hosted on Tumblr or WordPress.com (I didn’t check and don’t know), but since they have their own domain name they can move their blogs.
