Architecture/Design

High Level Overview of Architecture Patterns
The 8 Fallacies of Distributed Systems
The Unix Philosophy

Many pressures tend to make programs more complicated (and therefore more expensive and buggy). One such pressure is technical machismo. Programmers are bright people who are (often justly) proud of their ability to handle complexity and juggle abstractions. Often they compete with their peers to see who can build the most intricate and beautiful complexities. Just as often, their ability to design outstrips their ability to implement and debug, and the result is expensive failure.

100 Useful Unix Commands by Oliver
A practical reference of Linux Commands - Chances are if you’re looking to do something on the command line, there’s a good “Recipe” for it here.
Seashells - Share console output remotely
Regex101 - Try, test, explain matching rules, share regex’s. Awesome.

DB Fiddle - Great for playing around with SQL
Jepsen - Analyses of middleware/database products.

You Should Know About Databases - Great visual breakdown of basic concepts. Good quick refresher if you already know it.

Hacker News - Still the best source of engineering related news I’ve found.
Pointer.io - Twice weekly reading club for software engineers. Very good curated content blending technical and “soft” topics.
DevOps Subreddit - I haven’t found many subreddits very useful in the engineering realm, but the DevOps one is very good and has a welcoming community.
ExperiencedDevs Subreddit - No “how do I make a webapp?” questions. Very good technical information, career advice, and team advice.

Team Gantt - Simple to use planning tool to get a good idea of the overall scope and timeline of a project. Nothing overly complicated. Way easier and better than something like OmniPlan/MS Project or even Asana.
Mermaid - Great diagramming tool with ability to have text source files
Markmap - JS based mindmaps based on Markdown.
DBDiagram - Make DB diagrams with ascii source in JSON

Cookie Cutter - For scaffolding new projects, since I’m still learning the idioms.
