Today I kept thinking about the machine learning / NLP / deep learning related blog posts (not papers) that have been transformational for me.
Here is a short thread of a few high-impact blog posts that come to mind.

The list will be different for every generation but these are some of the blog posts that had been transformational for me. There are many more blog posts out there, so feel free to share. I thank these and many other people for making ML more accessible and welcoming.
