Great list, thanks for creating this. How/What can I contribute this list?
It would be great if you can add contributing guidelines like contributing.md. This will help others to understand what is acceptable and what is not. I basically would like to add PHPToday to this list if you think that's acceptable :)
Cheers

SlicedHam is a website that curated engineering blog from this repository. It's been two days since I accessed SlicedHam website (http://www.slicedham.co). The message that I got from browser is

Application Error
An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. Please try again in a few moments.
If you are the application owner, check your logs for details.

I hope there is a news what current state of SlicedHam website.

@kilimchoi @duckspeaker

Could you open source this website? The website is useful to me and I have some sugesstions to improve it.

I got an email from you via mailchimp. While I'm impressed that you were able to get a ~5000 person list into their system with such dubious sourcing, I'm mostly annoyed that you added me to a mailing list at all without me opting in. Shady move.

the list is nice. it will be more helpful if could tag each link/blog, what are their main topics...
say, somebody want to read blogs about ember-js, if you have these links tagged, that will easier to find them... thanks

I think get to be honest ... I do not think that Monsanto is in the list, since they have little or no ethics.

Needs some kind of license. I would recommend on of the CC ones, like https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/

👍 if you are interested.

Disclaimer: I am the author of this site.

It is fairly technical and focused on Software Engineering. Would it be unfair for me to send a PR adding my own blog?

Awesome bot seems to be having some issues with ssl (dkhamsing/awesome_bot#56) causing the build to fail.

Might want to disable travis integration for now.

Swift Offical Dev Blog seems to be classified as a personal blog.

Intel Engineering site to be added.

The whole new trend of "awesome lists" have been making a pretty big impact, so why not ride the coat tail on that one.

Also people would better know what this is from just the title.

To be honest, I first read the title on HN and thought it was some blogging platform or theme for existing blogging platform geared towards the style of engineering blogs.

Just a thought

Hey,

I think that for many people who are visiting this awesome repo it would be useful to have some information which blogs are dead and which are still being updated. If someone is looking for blog with info about newest technologies this would help.

As an example Stephen Colebourne's blog is really cool however the last update was at the end of last year.

dead link: https://lab.getbase.com/category/engineering/

Hi,
I started this project

https://entries-by-votes.now.sh/
https://github.com/juanpabloaj/entries-by-votes

The page show the entries of the feeds of engineering-blogs order by Hacker News and Reddit votes.

Maybe can be useful or interesting for someone.

Hey,
I've made a few contributions here and I've enjoyed adding some of these to my personal feed of blogs to watch however of late it seems to me that there isn't a quality standard that is being imposed here and some of the links that are getting in are less than useful (mainly personal blogs which appear to be just after some click throughs)

I'm wondering whether this is intended to just be a large link base of blogs that exist on the internet or whether it was aiming to provide more of a "quality" blogs to follow.

Interested in your thoughts on this.

Because that would be awesome. Sorry if it's a bit off-topic.

If there isn't, I'd be happy to start one.

"An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. Please try again in a few moments.

Here are some examples of urls:

We should also avoid pages which return 404 pages.

Hello,

I want to add blogs not written in English ( e.g. http://techblog.yahoo.co.jp/ ).
May I add this blog to README.md or README.ja.md ?

For example what this blog is about, yeah engineering, but what kind of technology they write about? Rails or node for example; or this blog write about machine learning. It would be more easy to access and read the blog you want without having to go through all of them to find which one is about postgres.. for example

Doing a quickly diff with this readme I got as a result the lack of these blogs:

• 9gag
• airbrake
• avant
• backtrace
• banksimple
• betterworks
• branch
• captricity
• close.io
• cloudscaling
• coursera
• crowdbooster
• datafloq
• dataiku
• dchq.io
• elastic
• fastmail
• fluidinfo
• hubblehq
• icehouse
• import.io
• influxdata
• jelastic
• kaggle
• machinalis
• pagerduty
• pagico
• persiscope data
• phyramid
• raintank
• rea group
• reddit
• simulmedia
• smugmug
• starva
• stylight
• tellapart
• udacity
• workshape
• yammer
• zenpayroll

I didn't make the test if each of these blogs respect these guidelines:
For company blogs, make sure that 80% of content is technical (posts about interesting technical challenges, lessons they've learned, etc). No PR, self-promoting posts.
For individual blogs, as long as posts are mostly technical (not as strict with the ratio as the company one), I am happy to add them.

Hope this could help :)

Hi. The following is regarding the xmlUrl attribute of some blogs in the opml file (I am listing only the blog host name to reduce issue noise):

Corrections

engineering.fundingcircle.com -> https://engineering.fundingcircle.com/feed.xml
deferpanic.com -> Remove trailing slash
carlosbecker.com -> http://carlosbecker.com/feed.xml

Unparsable?

nshipster.com

Unreachable domains

techblog.badoo.com -> Socket hang up
eng.kifi.com -> blog shutdown
arslan.io: Domain does not exist
blog.humblecoder.com -> domain suspended?
www.technotalkative.com -> domain suspended?

What to do?

segment.com -> https://segment.com/blog/atom.xml. However non-engineering stuff is mixed into the feed as well I think.

Hi, all.

First of all, I would like to say thank you so much @kilimchoi for creating this awesome project. You are awesome. And amazing contributors too. I gave an issue to this repository regarding there isn't short description of engineering-blogs (it appears at the top of the repository). The README.md exists. The website (http://www.slicedham.co/) exists too. Do you any idea giving the short description (website is optional) for this repository?

Thank you for your attention.

Perhaps a languages section or perhaps just a note next to each blog so that one could just do a find on the page.

Something like:

Some Blog (Go, Ruby)

"Raymond Chen" or http://blogs.msdn.com/rss.aspx is generating about 5k entries per week.

About 3 times more than all other entries in the list altogether.

I can fork and remove it only for myself of course.

But I was wondering is any one is actually following and reading this one and it adds any value to this nicely curated list.

For e.g. List of blogs of companies that uses MongoDB primarily at production, etc.

http://tech.grammarly.com

guess that should be http://www.slicedham.com/ in the repo's description? 🍖

Please add a button that does something like $(':checkbox').prop('checked', true);

:) Thanks.

Should products/technologies be included in a new section or lumped under companies?

Ex:

• Atom.io http://blog.atom.io/
• Rust http://blog.rust-lang.org/

That's a great list. Thanks for putting this together. Would you mind adding http://engineering.tilt.com/ to the list?

Thanks,
Khaled

What do think of creating a planet of all these feeds?

Hi again.
http://www.confluent.io/blog/feed/rss.xml -> http://www.confluent.io/blog/feed/
http://makingvimeo.com/rss -> user authentication needed so the feed isn't accessible.

I ran the script by typing ruby generate_opml.rb on cmd with Rails but after it's done, non-ascii chars were processed incorrectly, like
Radim Řehůře turn into Radim Řehůřek,
Oona Räisänen turn into Oona Räisänen and so on.

Did I somehow run the script wrong?

add some clarification that you should just add to the readme file and then run the generate_opml script before submitting a pull request

Would be useful to have a succinct description on each item on what the blog is about. Also, not everyone knows who all those people are, so just listing a name isn't very enticing.

Commentary would also be useful. This would be your (or the submitters) words on why it's worth a read. We've been doing this very successfully on awesome-scifi https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome-scifi#cities-in-flight-1970-by-james-blish-40 and even have it as a requirement in the contributing guidelines https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome-scifi/blob/master/contributing.md

curation is about what is highest quality or most helpful or most useful, not just a fucking abc list

please fix make all the lists useful, or get rid of the word 'curation'

Hi guys,

Has somebody experienced a parse error when trying to import the opml file into a reader? I've given a try to import it into Feedly but got a parse error. To troubleshoot itI've tried http://codebeautify.org/opmlviewer.

Alex
