I completely disagree.
If you work on a small engineering team and want to broaden your knowledge of technologies you might want to use, reading about approaches that larger companies use is a great source of information. Most cutting edge software engineering (not computer science), occurs in technology companies. So if you ignore "corporate" engineering blogs, then you are hugely limiting your exposure to how software engineering works in the real world.
Of course the companies are not blogging about everything, but that is irrelevant. Your choices are either a) not learn anything or b) learn stuff that might be dated (but probably also battle tested and rock solid).
And I think you are way off with the advertising thing. The reason most companies make these engineering blogs is to attract engineering talent, thus their incentive is to post cool stuff which is interesting and exciting. Look at Etsy's great engineering blog [1] which I've personally learned quite a bit from. Read a few posts... they aren't trying to sell arts and crafts.

I included airpair.com/posts and they actually contain interesting technical blog posts.
Didn't know about this one, looks interesting indeed. Thanks for sharing!
Prejudiced much? I just looked at the first three links, Adzerk, AdRoll and Airbnb, and found technically interesting posts on all three of them.
Great stuff! Now if I someone can create a site with curated content from these sites so that I only need to visit only one site.
I read this comment as a humorous note that this is exactly what HN does.
Planet does this already: http://www.planetplanet.org/ - just need someone to host it.
Keep on the lookout! Working on it!

How about an OPML file we can upload it feedly?
Looking forward to it eagerly!
Hi,
I created a website http://www.slicedham.co/ for it.
Me, too !!

Shouldn't Swift's blog be included as well? https://developer.apple.com/swift/blog/
Edit: Seems the OP did add it.

Software engineering blogs.
Not interested in opening up that debate, but I thought based on the title this would be something else.

What about https://www.joyent.com/blog, https://strongloop.com/strongblog/, www.brendangregg.com/blog?
Too devops-y?

Not really. I think we can include all but Joyent one. Joyent one seems to have too many company PR stuff. Feel free to make a pull request if you wanna add something.
I was hoping for blogs by well known software engineers as opposed to lame company PR'ish blogs.
I've started including blogs from individual software engineers. If you know anyone with interesting content, feel free to make a pull request. :)
Done. I guess next step would be categorizing them since, for instance, now I'm thinking of all the security-related blogs...
But then you have multiple dimensions: corporate vs. individual and security vs. non, so you have to start using a real CMS or your own code and tagging, not a plain file list on github.
Great list. I enjoy reading corporate engineer blogs for the practical info vs purely technical ones

I used my prototype app for archiving-and-summary against this list - hopefully it makes it a bit easier (or entertaining) to browse: http://server.wwwas.it/key/engineeringblogs2
Ha! Great minds think alike. I did something similar awhile ago: https://github.com/program247365/engineering-blogs Would love to get contributions, and I'd host it.
Awesome news! Thanks for all your hard work!

Comments and Feedback welcome :D

Would this count - https://bvckup2.com/wip ?
Looks more like a place to announce product updates than something that talks about interesting technical lessons or challenges.
Don't be fooled by engineering.company.com sub-domaines, most of them only scratch the surface of technologies and most of the time have unnecessary marketing noise.
If you really want to learn some technology, I advise against corporate blogs (except if your goal is actually to be aware of what technologies are companies using)
