Do you maintain a list of RSS links of GOAT blogs?

(Joke) I'm kind of surprised that Hacker News readers are into goats! My cousin runs a goat company, and she's not the kind of person who'd read Hacker News. (She rents out her goats to remove problematic vegetation, like poison ivy and invasive vines.)

According to Google, "GOAT Blogs" are blogs about goats: https://www.google.com/search?q=GOAT+blog&rlz=1C1GCEU_enUS99...

Suggestion (edited): Edit the post just enough to explain that GOAT stands for "Greatest of all time." For example: Do you maintain a list of RSS links of the GOAT (Greatest of all Time) blogs? If you do can you please share?

Little known but you can "subscribe" to YouTube channels without Google account by using RSS https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=${channe...

For me, GOATs are not as interesting as "people who are a _bit_ more talented than me, but share the same general set of problems". For example, I'm never going to improve my ability play football by watching Lionel Messi. Better to actually talk with a pretty good local coach.

The best way I've found of discovering new blogs is Thinking About Things (https://www.thinking-about-things.com). I was introduced to it recently and it's introduced me to great new blogs. I like it because it sends one article per email, so it's a slow drop that lets me evaluate each independently, instead of being one giant overwhelming list.

I installed an RSS reader on my phone a couple of weeks ago, and I've been pleasantly surprised. All my sites have feeds, and I've replaced compulsively reloading half a dozen websites with occasionally opening a reader app. And having a common interface is nice. I wonder why I stopped using a reader, a decade or so ago.

GOAT = Greatest of all time?

Not an individual blog, but if your reader supports creating a folder of feeds from an OPML file and you're happy to then edit it down to the ones that you find useful then https://engblogs.s3.amazonaws.com/engblogs.opml has around 500 feeds in the software development and devtools space.

https://github.com/simevidas/web-dev-feeds/blob/master/feeds... is another good one more about frontend development that I'm currently trying.

I'm using Feedly. Checking it once a couple of weeks and happy about my flow.

I quite like Bits About Money: https://bam.kalzumeus.com/

As someone who knows very little about the finance sector I find the posts very understable and informative.

Goat blogs are actually called "glogs"

Goat + Blog = Glog

This question has been asked before (if you search for `Ask HN blogs` you get a list of previous threads). This is not meant as a criticism, just sharing a bunch more resources for you.

I am actually using my own designed feed reader WebFeed, which only runs on browser, and depends no cloud side service.

Chris Webb's BI blog (https://blog.crossjoin.co.uk/feed/). Facebook Engineering and LinkedIn Engineering also support RSS.

I don't, but here is a nice (or just big) list if someone has focus to spare:

Shameless plug: https://indieblog.page allows you to discover new blogs through the power of randomness. (previously on discussed on hackernews)
