There's an interesting read titled Tools as a catalyst for culture change that really appeals to me, it's not surprise I'm a huge proponent for tool driven change and it seems to a large extend the DevOps community has decided this is just not something to discuss at events like DevOps Days. The article makes some good points about tooling and how it influences behaviour. It also makes the important point that tools alone will not help you.
Effectively managing a GitHub org is both very important and becoming hugely complex. Terraform can help you in this task and Hashicorp wrote a good post on doing this. I was not aware of this feature in Terraform, it looks awesome though.
There's a really good walk through all the bits that make up a AWS VPC delivered in the form of an analogy comparing a VPC deployment to a city, it covers a whole lot in a not a huge post and well worth a read.
A new alerting platform called Cerebro was released to GitHub, it lives atop of Graphite. It's early days still but looking pretty great. Really glad to see a lot of new movement in the alerting side of Open Source monitoring.
I find the default Vault UI just not fit for purpose in general so have just been avoiding Vault in general. There's a pretty good looking Web UI for it that might win me over, I've not tried it but it's high on the list.
I was not aware of CAA DNS records before a post mentioning they are becoming mandatory for CA's to honour. Basically with these you publish to the world which CAs may issue certs in your domain which will hopefully reduce the attack surface quite a lot.
Not new at all but there's a great iPXE netboot service that lets you easily boot all sorts of OS and Utilities. One to keep in your tool chain if you're still working with things with boot loaders.
Last time I mentioned a cheatsheet for the new Linux networking tools, there's another great one titled iproute2 cheat sheet.

There's a fairly epic post about the structure of programming languages that goes into a great deal of depth about the underlying structures, the graphs, the relationships and what makes up a language. Probably something only a few people will enjoy but if that's you this is a great resource.
Many self taught people like myself knows a lot about many things and we learn by observation and studying outcomes going backwards to causes. This works but is a poor substitute for real comp sci. There's a great resource that takes the form of a book list to help you fill some gaps.

Another epic post, this time about Package Managers. Written to an audience of those who wish to write a new Package Manager but it's a great read for anyone who wants a view on what it really takes to engineer a good tool like this.
GitHub made a nice round up of tools Open Source maintainers can use to make their life easier.
A really great collection of posters related to code, many featuring large views of binary file layouts and similar.
The insides of the next Xbox have been revealed, mind blowing stuff.
