20 Curated Weekly newsletters for programmers, sysadmins and what's in between

When it comes of being up to date in programming languages some people have the time to follow Reddit or Hacker News.

Others prefer a less frequent and more filtered way of receiving their dose of news.

Yet others want both.

In this post I collected 20 weekly curated newsletters you might want to subscribe to.
