This was the fastest product I have ever shipped. It was built and ship in 2 days. 🚀🚀
On Monday, I showed article "Reducing Slack’s memory footprint" in my twitter feed. (tweeted by @mathowie) It was written by Slack Engineering team to explain how they solved the problem of high memory consumption of Slack’s desktop app.
It had a great explanation about how to approach the problem, think about the better solution and build the desktop application. I explored the Slack Engineering blog and it has lots of wisdom shared by the engineering team at Slack.
As a software engineer, I am always curious 💭to learn about development strategies behind the great tech products.
On Tuesday, I started to look for more engineering blogs from different startups and tech companies.
In few hours, I found out that many of tech companies have a special section or blog related to engineering and development. On these blogs, they publish lots of new things including their approach to solve the problem, their experience with different tools and technologies, story about their engineers and more. 👨💻
Finally, I decided to build a place where anyone can find all the engineering blogs. 📚 I started working on the idea on Tuesday. By the end of Wednesday, I have built the first prototype.
On Thursday, I added new features including 'submit new company blog' and 'the total users' each of these tech company manages to give more sense about how to build and scale infrastructure that handles the traffic of millions of people (Some are in billions.)
I posted on few communities and the response was amazing. Thank you @JonathanZWhite for review it.
A few hours ago, PH has also tweeted a funny thing on complex engineering infrastructure.
Let me know your feedback or suggestions to make it better.
@mathowie@jonathanzwhite@keyul great list. Many thanks. I am a tech blogger and this will help me a lot. Is there a way to download the list in a csv or excel format? Also it will be great if you can create an RSS feed of all the articles posted in these blogs...
@panispieri thank you for suggestion. Combine rss feed of all these blogs will be the next feature I have thought of. It would be great to read new updated from all of them at one place.
Would share your blog link here?
@keyul nice one) I have similar one with couple more features, created 4 months ago on Umbraco. http://engineersblogs.gear.host/ . It's finished project but I don't have much time to populate with new blogs.
I will explore it to discover tech blogs form top compagnies.
Pros:Nice collection
Cons:Nope
