Like some of the renegades in the comments, I'm tempted to share an entire blog. Instead I'll share some highlights from my favorite blog of 2023. It's not tech-focused per se, but rather politics/policy by a former "Last Week Tonight w/ John Oliver" writer and EPA speechwriter, Jeff Mauer. The blog is called "I Might Be Wrong". It's a perfect mix of smart and funny.
EDIT: Just noticed the "software" qualifier in the OP. I almost deleted this comment, but it includes a few software-adjacent articles, on AI, so I'll leave it up.
Here are some highlights from this past year:
