A collection of moderately useful or interesting articles for reading.

• Don't Call Yourself A Programmer, And Other Career Advice remains one of my go-to guides for new software engineers or early career people in software-adjacent fields. If this sounds like you, this is a good read and I strongly agree with this advice.
• Do You Really Want to be Doing This When You're 50? – Do you want to be building software forever?
• Organizational Skills Beat Algorithmic Wizardry
• Milk Kanban
• Sell yourself, Sell Your Work ...

Note that articles (one for now) related to Japan are stored separately.

These are blogs or small websites from independent people who are probably less well-known, but interesting and probably worth following or at least checking out.

• マリウス.com - Has the cool factor of being an IDN user (rebel?) despite nothing supporting IDN very well.
• dimden's hotel - One of the biggest “small web” sites in terms of complexity, uniqueness, vibes, etc.
• Allie Meowy | Edward Snowden's Favorite YouTube Channel
  • Investigating a forgotten Edward Snowden Quote
• Photo Akiba - Photo blog/archive documenting 秋葉原 in Japan

• nekoweb - Free static hosting service with a very cute aesthetic and a directory of smaller sites.
• neocities - Free hosting service, “geocities 2.0” with a similar exploration page to nekoweb. Very cool!
• omg.lol - Another small web service, with a lot of cool supporting services, like DNS, email forwarding, fediverse hosting, a pastebin, a URL shortner, etc.
