I write a blog that’s not about AI, though is very technical.[1] For non-self promotion I’m a big fan of Jenn’s, who I got introduced by the first Inkhaven cohort.[2]
I follow a fair number of people who would, back in the day, have been classic bloggers, but are now doing Substack, and rarely even mention AI. Here's one I like enough that I actually pay for it:
Well I do have a blog of my own [1], although I haven't posted a new article for a while, with 2 in preparation for way too long lol. There's also a Telegram section[2] which just mirrors the posts I make there, much more informal, and this one also haven't been updated in a while.
He passed away a couple of years ago unfortunately but there's a lot of stuff there that is pretty interesting. He has some awesome stuff about procedural generation
It's really more of an entertainment blog than an information one but there's still some really interesting stuff there.
Rest in Peace Shamus. You made a huge impact on a younger me
Honest question, is blogging even still a thing? I don't read any blogs honestly. I feel like blogging in 2026 is a very niche thing. Maybe I am wrong, it's just my impression. People are so "short-lived" that too much information at once seems not to be popular anymore. People want to get spoon fed all information they need, especially since AI - no?
Disagree - if anything AI slop is driving people back to blogs. Reading something with an actual voice behind it feels rare now, not niche. Scarcity makes it valuable again.
There’s some evidence for this beyond vibes—Pew’s been tracking teen platform use for years and blogging barely registers anymore. Though I’d guess it’s less nostalgia-seeking and more just wanting an unowned, non-algorithmic space to write.
Thanks for all the links, I love feeding my RSS reader.
I really like this: http://blog.beforemario.com updates are rare these days, but they cover Nintendo corporate history and products before the company got into video games.
It not updated anymore but the art blog https://www.butdoesitfloat.com has brought me a lot of joy; the quotes that go along with each post are good too
Not a blog, but a podcast, but I love "The AI Daily Brief," and I listen to it daily because it keeps me up to date on almost everything happening in the AI universe.
For a while, I stopped writing. But, I have recently started writing again.[1] My old blog can be found on the wayback machine[2]. These days I am writing about using invariants as a means by which to predict the future[3], before I was doing summaries/notes of books.
Julia Evans' blog (jvns.ca) is my go-to. Every post is her debugging something real, zines on tcpdump/strace, and she actually explains the "aha" moment instead of just the fix.
This is my favorite from him: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20220426-00/?p=10...
