Which newsletters do you subscribe to?


I just subscribed to 8bitmen and digital ocean newsletters which I find interesting and useful. I also find Stratechery intriguing but currently I am not willing to pay for subscription.I was wondering which other newsletters are out there in the wild(paid or free) which would be worth subscribing to.

I don't subscribe to many, but I do subscribe to

filipp.io's Cryptography Dispatches https://buttondown.email/cryptography-dispatches/archive

Fermat's Library fermatslibrary.com

The Popehat Report https://popehat.substack.com/

and I've been subscribed to Bruce Schneier's Cryptogram since before newsletters were cool ;) https://www.schneier.com/crypto-gram/

I'm a big fan of subscribing to one of the weekly newsletters for your particular tech stack of language (java weekly, ruby weekly, etc). They aren't going to be full of insight, but after subscribing for a few months you'll get a feel for the community's focus.

They also help me keep up with releases of the language, libraries and frameworks.

I dislike newsletters that you have to subscribe to.

I miss blogs and RSS (with actual content, not just teasers.)

https://marketingexamples.com is fantastic for marketing.

I wish there was one more like this which explains startup building (in terms of SWOT (https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newTMC_05.htm analysis))

I'm a superfan of "Why is this interesting?"

https://whyisthisinteresting.substack.com/

It's a daily newsletter that's a sort of potpourri of interesting topics. They're pretty digestible, and they make it a point to avoid current events/politics. The writing is also very high quality.
