    Uhm, what is this doing here on HN? A to Z? Congrats for knowing the alphabet and finding remotely relevant blogs for it, but I only made it to F and was not convinced:

    * "According to SD Times senior editor Alex Handy" aka "according to some guy who works for the same company I write for"

    * "doesn’t directly write about coding or developing software, but his posts are creative" - I really do love fine arts, but I don't coerce blog posts about them into my framework (or the a-z blog list I am trying to curate)

    * 'Coding Horror has made it on several other “Best software development blog” lists in previous years.' - I like CH, but it's not a resource for learning, it is a source for amusement for those who know.

    * "For developers that are all about Docker" - I am not, thank you.

    * "His blog post on fonts created with neural networks generated a lot of traffic, so much that it ended up on Hacker News and took down his site (temporarily)" - yes, it was cute. But nothing more.

    * " He specializes in software architecture and design, performance, scalability, and agile development methodologies." - good for him, now why exactly should I read what he writes?

    Thanks, SDTimes, you just made it into my blackhole (aka an entry that points to 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts).
