What are your must-read development blogs?
Just created an Inoreader account and looking to dig into some good reads. What blogs do you read revolving around development?

Those are blogs I'll actively seek out new content from, rather than waiting for something to surface on Hackernews.
Awesome, thanks! I'll add them to my list right now.
For those erring on the devops and business management side of software engineering/development, Signal v. Noise from David Heinemeier Hansson and Jason Fried is a good read.
Drew DeVaults blog is pretty neat.I would read anything he writes with a great care. I wrote about why in some detail here. The tl;dr is that Drew is exceptionally opinionated, and many of those opinions are not correct, and he is not gracious about considering other points of view.
Some of the things that he suggest are wrong to the point of being detrimental (like his stance on "there are no good laptops" or "modern computers make you a bad developer" or "the only valid way to distribute a patch is via email" or I could go on, but that was just off the top of my head and I don't want to actually open his blog).
A few days ago, I discovered this blog from the Architecture Lead at Stack Exchange. Although I don't have the technical knowledge to understand it all, the series on Stack Overflow’s architecture is a delight to read.
Wube, the folke behind factorio have a fantastic dev blog
