Ask HN: Timeless/Classic Engineering Essays?
One of my favorite parts of HackerNews is when old (for some definition of old) blog posts and essays are resurfaced and discussed.<p>I imagine that in the 30 year history of the internet a lot of really great pieces have been written about software engineering, technology, etc. But I worry about those pieces being lost to the winds of time. And, more selfishly, I also just want to read them.<p>What&#x27;s your &quot;oldie but goodie&quot; piece that impacted you or that you always share with people?<p>PS. Not limited to internet essays, of course. Pre-internet essays are also welcomed.<p>PPS. Bonus points for links to repositories or sites that aggregate said classic essays.
