4th Mar 2026
At the beginning of 2026, I didn’t even know what vibe coding meant. So much has happened in the time I was busy carving wooden spoons, that I felt it simpler to just ignore the hype. One morning, in this seemingly never ending winter, a friend told me excitedly how his employer...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
