Top 100 Blogs for Software Development Managers

Jurgen Appelo put together an impressive list of what he calls the Top 100 Blogs for Software Development Managers (Q3 2008).  I think it's a great way to find out about blogs you might not know about.

The Top 10
Here's the top ten blogs on the list:

• Joel on Software
• Coding Horror
• Seth's Blog
• Paul Graham: Essays
• blog.pmarca.com
• Rough Type
• Scott Hanselman's Computer Zen
• Martin Fowler's Bliki
• Rands in Repose
• Stevey's Blog Rants

No, I didn't make the top 10.  I'm number 20.

Blogs That Made the List
In Jurgen's words:

"The idea of this list is to promote popular blogs that are interesting to software development managers. Therefore, I ignored the blogs that did not have any (recent) content directly related to either requirements, design, coding, testing, management, process improvement or methodologies. I also discarded generic project management blogs without topics on software development practices. Likewise, I discarded the pure coding and technology blogs when they did not elevate to the level of "managing" or "ruminating about" software development. Last of all, I only considered blogs in the English language."
