What it is
This is a hand-curated list of websites that the author considers useful for programmers, grouped by topic such as getting unstuck, tech news, coding practice, books, and interview preparation. Each entry is a link with a one-line description. The repository is archived, so the list is no longer being updated.
- Find a community to ask questions when you get stuck on a bug
- Pick a tech news source or newsletter to follow
- Browse beginner coding practice sites
- Look for interview preparation resources
Great for
- Beginners who want a starting point for finding learning sites
- Students looking for coding practice and MOOCs
- Developers who want a bookmark list of tech news and community sites
- People browsing for ideas on where to ask programming questions
Not ideal for
- Anyone who needs current links, since the repository is archived and last pushed in September 2025
- People looking for software to install, since this is a list of websites rather than a tool
- Readers who need verified or vetted resources, since the README does not describe how entries are checked

Strengths
- Covers many topic areas in one place, from news to jobs
- Entries are short and easy to scan
- Open to contributions under the MIT license
Trade-offs
- Archived, so some links may be out of date or dead
- Descriptions are brief and the README does not say how sites were selected or reviewed
- The README is truncated here, so not every section was visible for this analysis
