Recently I was writing a shell script to deal with the AWS CLI, and I wanted to filter the list of results using jq. Specifically, I wanted to filter using some of the AWS tags, which are a bit unwieldy – although the tags form a set of key/value pairs, they’re returned as a list...

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!
