I recently had a random idea to fix a problem that evidently only bothers me. It has become de rigueur to litter every project with a random smattering of top-level dotfiles. I’m thinking of the .travis.yaml-type files that are regarded as a necessary evil to perform some kind of...

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!
