# Hashnode Weekly 001 by Miki Szeles There are so many great articles here on Hashnode. My daily habit of checking Facebook and Instagram whenever I have a few minutes switched to reading Hashnode and Medium.com articles. Actually, I got totally addicted to it. The first thing in the morning is to check the Recent section of the app and read whatever seems interesting to me. I have decided to collect the articles I found the most insightful into a weekly post, so I can let you know some awesome content and will also be great for myself as a reference. As I am mainly interested in **Software Development, Testing and Automation, Data Analytics and Deep Learning, Self-improvement, Blogging, Productivity and Psychology**, you will find articles mostly related to these topics. I won't waste your time, let's see the list. ## Blogging - From this weeks list I found [Victoria Lo](https://hashnode.com/@victoria)'s article **the most insightful in the blogging category**. - [Why Every Developer Should Start Blogging](https://lo-victoria.com/why-every-developer-should-start-blogging). - [Brian Scramlin](https://hashnode.com/@scramlo) provides advice about [How to Choose a Blog Platform](https://blog.nerdspecs.com/how-to-choose-a-blog-platform) - [Sayam Gandhak](https://hashnode.com/@samblogs) [introduced himself](https://samblogs.hashnode.dev/my-first-blog) on Hashnode with his first blog post.
