makeworld.space — Personal Site and Blog

The personal site and blog of a Toronto-based open source developer known for Amfora, a terminal browser for the Gemini protocol, and for image dithering tools (dither, didder, Dithertime). Posts cover small-internet protocols, open source projects, voting systems, and software design. Free to read.

Why I recommend it: A good example of the "small web" corner of the internet: one person, useful open source tools, thoughtful writing. Follow if you are interested in protocols and software outside the big platforms.

Futurism

Daily reporting on AI, science and technology, with a running focus on where AI claims meet reality. Free to read.

From the site: Discover the latest science and technology news on breakthroughs that are shaping the world of tomorrow with Futurism.

Why I recommend it: Skeptical by habit, which is useful — it covers the AI stories that companies would rather see written kindly. Headlines run hot, so read the piece before repeating it.

vFunction Blog

Technical writing on legacy modernisation, monoliths and microservices, technical debt, cloud migration and where AI coding tools break down on large old codebases.

From the site: Check out all latest posts from vFunction including modernization strategies, cloud migration best practices, and company updates.

Why I recommend it: technical rather than promotional, though vFunction sells modernization software. The pieces on AI assistants meeting million-line codebases are the honest ones.
