Unsure why @Nathanf22's comment was downvoted to death. I would also suggest Lobste.rs and Reddit. But then again, RSS seems to work quite well in my case.

Probably because it seems AI-generated, and suggesting dev.to is in line with that - that place is actually an absolute cesspit of slop (SNR 1:100), as far as I have seen.

Thanks for the explanation. I wasn't aware that dev.to is of such low quality.

Perhaps this is because programmers know how to use AI. And they thought it would be a good idea to generate content using AI.

But other programmers who see this content immediately realize that it was generated and stop reading it.

Can you recommend some of your favorite RSS feeds for non-technical topics?

Sure. Here is an older list that I shared a while ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28911253

In the meantime I've bookmarked quite a few more on literature, politics, and such, if it's of any interest. I've also made (a fairly weak) case for Jacobin here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44309069
