I believe that in today’s world, e-mail newsletters still make a lot of sense. Back in the early days of the Internet - before search engines like Google became truly effective - there were websites that provided manually curated catalogs of links, organized into categories and subcategories. Later, full-text search engines such as Yahoo and Google took over, making it easy to find almost anything online.

But now, with the overwhelming flood of new content published every day, aggressive Search Engine Optimization (SEO) tactics, and the rise of AI-generated noise, I find it valuable to rely on trusted people who periodically curate and share the most interesting articles and videos within a specific field.

So here’s my question for you: Which programming-related newsletters do you recommend? I’m especially interested in those covering C++, graphics rendering, game development, and similar topics.

Here is my current list:

• Graphics Programming Weekly - by Jendrik Illner
  A weekly collection of new articles on graphics programming, shaders, GPUs, game development, and more.
  (Tip: it’s worth checking the website directly, since new issues sometimes arrive late - or not at all - in my inbox.)
• Leadership in Tech
  Focused more on soft skills than on coding itself, this newsletter is aimed at CTOs, engineering managers, and senior engineers who want to become better leaders.
• Programming Digest
  A roundup of links to articles covering a wide variety of programming topics.
• AI Art Weekly - by Dreaming Tulpa
  Not strictly programming-related, but a great resource for staying up to date with major product releases and research papers in generative AI for graphics, video, and audio.

EDIT: There are additional newsletters recommended in comments under my social media posts on X/Twitter and LinkedIn.

By the way, I still use RSS/Atom feeds to follow interesting websites and blogs. Not every site offers one, but when they do, it’s a convenient way to aggregate recent posts in a single place. For this, I use the free online service Feedly.

If you also follow news feeds this way, you can subscribe to the Atom feed of my blog.

I also use the social bookmarking service Pinboard. You can browse my public links about graphics under the tags rendering and graphics. Some of these links point to individual articles, while others lead to entire websites or blogs.
