Ugh. That looks like AI this, LLM that, Agent this.
Where are the databases, the distributed systems, where is the software verification?
I am quite surprised and a bit disappointed that almost none of them have RSS.
But thank you!
Most of them have feeds.
* https://engineering.fb.com/feed
* https://netflixtechblog.com/feed
* No feed for stripe
* https://www.uber.com/en-GB/blog/london/engineering/rss/
* No feed for LinkedIn

linkedin feed: https://www.linkedin.com/blog.rss
there is a feed for stripe: https://stripe.com/blog/feed.rss
Not RSS exactly but this OPML has feeds for several hundred such blogs if you can filter down from there: https://peterc.org/misc/engblogs.opml
Great list, thank you. The only thing to note is that whenever I imported a large list like this in the past, I always stopped checking my RSS reader after a while because the content wasn't interesting. I think finding RSS/adding it to a reader should happen organically over time.

I remember Firefox used to have this cool feature where you could detect any RSS feeds on the page you have open.
Now if I don't see it on a page I check the page source - some blogs don't advertise the feed but it's there.
Spotify and Tailscale do...

Some of them redesign their blog layouts every 6 months, abandoning and then eventually rediscovering RSS. It's extremely annoying.

I think it's on purpose. It is to signal that these (those without RSS) aren't really "engineering" blogs at all, they're marketing websites aimed to help with recruiting and making the organization seem "engineering-like".
What? That makes no sense. RSS is beloved and known among engineers. Marketers? Not so much.

i wish the aggregators supported rss feeds.
