Sacha Greif
One more in the list is Sacha Grief, obviously because of sidebar.io — a service that filters noise out of industry updates. It helps me keep my knowledge up-to-date even in busier schedules.

Oliver Emberton
I really love the way he writes and illustrates. Most of his articles are gamified version of real world scenarios. Many of his writings motivated me to get things done. Most of the time, more than once.
