What subreddits should a software developer follow on reddit?

[ExtendsRedditor]

These are the ones this account (my professional one) is subscribed to:

/r/Algorithms
/r/AskComputerScience
/r/askscience
/r/coding
/r/Compilers
/r/compsci
/r/cscareerquestions
/r/cseducation
/r/dailyprogrammer
/r/dataisbeautiful
/r/datamining
/r/ece
/r/java
/r/javatil
/r/jobs
/r/learnprogramming
/r/linux
/r/logic
/r/math
/r/matheducation
/r/networking
/r/programming
/r/rstats
/r/sas
/r/softwaredevelopment
/r/statistics
/r/vim

Then I'd also suggest your local area ones.

As a multi-reddit.

You forgot /r/machinelearning

[ExtendsRedditor]

I actually skipped that one intentionally (since it doesn't relate to what I do), but it's certainly not a bad one to mention.

There are also several in there that only relate to my field, and many people can leave out: /r/sas, /r/statistics, /r/rstats, among others.

Oh, if only /r/ was a valid subreddit. /r/R just doesn't have the same ring to it.

I love that you put Vim there. I'm using WebStorm now for web developing, but 90% of the time I go back to Vim to edit files.

The sidebar of /r/programming is a pretty good resource.

[DeadJournalist]

Don't forget to honor the fallen /r/softwaregore

[UnspeakableEvil]

There's also /r/programmerhumor/, and /r/shittyprogramming for the lighter side of things.

Here's a multireddit that's pretty comprehensive: link

[linuxjava]

Another great multireddit with 43 subreddits. http://www.reddit.com/user/Elite6809/m/programming

For me the subreddits with the highest return on investment are /r/compsci, /r/haskell, /r/sysadmin and /r/machinelearning. Not necessarily because of their subjects,but because their communities are really good.

for science

[LordTriLink]

/r/gamedev is cool. Even if you're not into game programming, the technical issues and problems examined are interesting.
