wordpress theme for developer blog

I started sometime ago (February 2017) to  look for a WordPress theme well suited for a developer blog .

As usual, I found pages such as https://colorlib.com/wp/wordpress-themes-for-programmers/ and http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/21-best-wordpress-starter-themes-for-developers/
