Tech Radar (Resources)

Why I Recommend: Boris Cherny is a Staff Engineer at Anthropic and the creator of Claude Code. He previously served as Principal Engineer (IC8) at Meta, leading Instagram's engineering team.

He authored "Programming TypeScript" published by O'Reilly, making him an authority in the TypeScript domain. What's even more impressive is that all his code contributions in the last month of 2024 were written by AI, producing up to 100 Pull Requests per week.

Here are three reasons why I highly recommend following him:

1. AI Coding Pioneer: He runs 10-15 Claude Code sessions simultaneously, demonstrating the extreme possibilities of AI-assisted development.
2. Systematic Methodology: He emphasizes "plan mode first" and using the smartest models, optimizing total iteration cost rather than single output speed.
3. Pragmatic Balance: He distinguishes between low-debt code (can be delegated to AI) and high-debt code (requires human involvement), showing a mature philosophy on AI tool usage.

If you're interested in AI-assisted development and the future of software engineering, Boris Cherny is a must-follow figure.

Why I Recommend This: This is one of the most influential technical blogs in Taiwan's .NET and Web development community, run by Will Huang (also known as "保哥").

Will Huang is the Technical Director at Duotify Inc. and a Microsoft MVP. His blog, "The Will Will Web," has accumulated thousands of high-quality technical articles covering an extremely wide range of topics—from early ASP and Perl to modern ASP.NET Core, Azure, Angular, Docker, and various development tools (such as VS Code) with practical tips.

I particularly recommend this blog for three reasons:

1. Practice-Oriented: Many articles are notes left after solving real development problems, which are incredibly valuable for developers facing similar issues.
2. Continuously Updated: Will keeps up with new technologies very quickly, such as .NET 8/9, new Azure services, etc., making it an excellent channel for staying informed.
3. Concepts and Principles: Beyond hard technical skills, he often shares software engineering wisdom, team collaboration, and project management experiences (in the "Experience Sharing" category), which are very helpful for an engineer's career growth.

If your tech stack is within the Microsoft ecosystem, this website is absolutely a "bible-level" must-read resource.
