  Lately, I've been enjoying a lot of posts in this blog right here:

  https://eugeneyan.com/writing

  My company just hired some new VPs from Amazon, and the writings in that blog convey a bit of the Amazon WOW. It's pretty insightful stuff.

  Also, many posts from Julia Evans :D

  More concretely, here are a few blog posts I go back to occasionally:

  I really like Gaffer on Games. I haven’t found a lot of good content that goes into the nuts and bolts of net code like he does.

  The Crash Bandicoot development diaries.

  It's a collection of many blog posts, but an entertaining read of working under not only technical, but also artistic and business restrictions.
