I still keep up with a few technical journals.  I tend to read CACM’s “Kode Vicious” letters.  Often a bit on the technical side, but written from a realistic, if not cynical, perspective.

The latest one is on self-driving cars.  Short and uncomplicated, it lays out some of the high level issues for success in safety critical software applications.  Not as boring as it sounds, even for non-techies.
