These are generally people which I’d like to become more like - to produce output like theirs.

I think making what they do is rare and valuable, and wish i knew about this catagory of people sooner.

Right now I am lucky to know 2-3 of them as internet friends, may this number increase in the future.

Writers (real world)

You will find most of these technical writers’ work in my monthly roundups.
Austin Vernon - new technology & commodities
Abhishaike Mahajan (Owl Posting) - biotechnology
Brian Potter (Construction Physics) - infrastructure
Sarah Constantin - new technology & biology

You will generally not find these two society writers in my monthly roundups.
Kelsey Piper - society, current
Kelsey’s work is defining of a particular brand of Californian centre-left technocrat, which means she tends to write more belligerent than the median person with these views.
Scott Alexander - society, past
Scott’s work was best in the 2010s under Slate Star Codex rather than in the 2020s under Astral Codex Ten. he writes a LOT, meaning some of my favourite posts are niche in the overall scheme of his writing, and probably yours will be too, but I almost guarantee he has something for you.
