Recommendations
The internet is full of resources from brilliant content creators. This is a collection of my personal recommendations. It's not comprehensive or ranked. These are simply people and resources I have found interesting, useful or worth following. I also intend to keep the collection relatively small and niche-focused so I can keep the page useful and up to date.
