Kovid Goyal's personal blog at kovidgoyal.net covers programming, writing and philosophy. Since 2018, 3 different Hacker News readers have linked it 4 times. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.

My thoughts, writings and philosophy. Includes poems, essays, stories and my work in physics, programming and system administration

It even looks like he has his own pre-jquery compliance library written about 18 years ago: https://kovidgoyal.net/scripts/VisualDocumentAPI.js
