Building a Kick Ass Website or Web App - A Compendium of Links

I've been compiling links for personal inspiration and learning over the past several months through my blog reader and YCombinator's Hacker News. It's never ceases to amaze me the resources that are out there. My intent is to use this list as a reference - like my list of Useful Web Applications for Startups that I try to update periodically. It's a long list (probably about 500 links at this point) - and I'm sure there's overlap and it's not optimized but my intent is to be able to document and reference links related to web development as I bump into them on my web travels.
