alternatively, see https://usesthis.com/ - "a collection of nerdy interviews asking people from all walks of life what they use to get the job done" ongoing since january 2009
Another one is https://workspaces.xyz , although it's more interesting to see the actual spaces where some people work. Some are hilariously clean and staged, while others look like they were taken mid escape with a go-bag. Unfortunately they're becoming more like a way of marketing tbh, but the sheer amount of posts on it are interesting nonetheless. (The number of people working in crypto is also hilarious.)
I had a period where I read every interview there, it was so cool to read about peoples tech stacks. I kind of fell off as it seemed like it ended up being more interviews with non-tech people than tech-people which removed some of the interest and utility for me. Got to revisit that site.
i tend to find the non-tech interviews the most interesting for the remoteness of the tools so to speak, e.g., coming across tools like https://www.wonderdraft.net/, a fantasy map creation tool, and thinking it's rather neat
I find them interesting too because tech people tend to just all have the latest and greatest hardware, while a lot of non-tech people are getting by on bizarre clunkers and set-ups which have more novelty value.
You should consider asking if they'd like an update! I'm sure they'd love to see how things have changed in the past ~6 years, and readers would enjoy it too :)
I compared some all-time favorite programming fonts last week; you might enjoy that write-up :) ( I tried not to be too biased towards Fira Code as well as JetBrains and Julia Mono )
some somewhat notable interviews have been submitted before: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=usesthis.com
e.g., aaron swartz[1]: https://usesthis.com/interviews/aaron.swartz/
1: his reference of using the MPW 9 font led me towards the discovery of the monaco 9pt bitmap font - curious if it's still around
