Over the years, I have dabbled in various software/hardware studies and hobbyist blogs, in addition to my enterprise IT work experience.
I have aggregated my list of many web pages and projects that I am interested in. Some of these products I have already used and do endorse. Outside of that, I have no other affiliation with them other than researching or saving for future reading.
Not everything here is free or open-source but much of it is.
Please feel free to share any of your favorites. I hope this will serve as an aid for others, at whatever stepping stone you are on in your career path.

Nice list!
Awesome list, will have to spend some time checking it all out 😉
Wow!
Hey Chris,
great list, thanks for sharing. Some of them I retrieve in my own bookmarks collection. At some point in time mine got so big I had to find a better solution for managing it. So I developed bookmarks.dev where I handle my dev "work" related bookmarks...
Cheers,
Adrian
Helpful list. Added to my bookmark!
