Julia Evans blog posts are always a treat to read.

* Doesn't skimp on the technical details / resources / examples.

* Incredibly readable, human focused language that doesn't "talk down" to a reader.

* Wide range of useful topics: Networking, Careers, Soft-Skill, Writing, etc.

* Amazing & informative Art/Zines.

I leaned on her wisdom often when I found myself suddenly thrust into a career as a DevOps Network Engineer.

Her writing very validating for me during some particularly turbulent projects I was working on.

It helped me find my own language to advocate for my code/designs in the face of (often needless) scruitiny from technical and non-technical team members.

Even if you're familiar with the subject matter of a post -- there's a 99% chance that it'll still be worth it to skim, and come away with something you didn't have before.

Huge fan.
