While I'm not an engineer, I work directly with engineers on helping them create content as well as covering the tech scene in Southeastern Europe. Gergely's blog and now newsletter are THE source to inspire potential topics as well as look at trends from an engineer management point of view. Recommend to not just engineering managers and CTOs, but anyone working with our eng friends :D

I've discovered the newsletter couple of weeks ago and really loved. Most of the posts resonate with either my past experience or a story I've heard from colleagues. He shares not only problems but also other people's experiences in big tech companies and suggestions on how to solve those problems.
If you're into tech business I'd suggest to subscribe this newsletter and join his community.
* Looking forward to read his latest book -> https://thetechresume.com
@ahmetaygun Thanks Ahmet for the feedback. Since The Tech Resume Inside Out I actually wrote two more books: https://blog.pragmaticengineer.c...
Writing these books the last year gave actually have me the confidence that I can embark on writing long-form every week.
This is going to help so many people! Congratulations on the launch, Gergely! ๐
Congrats on the launch! I can highly recommend this newsletter to any engineering manager. It has brought me many insights, actionable advise and even ready-to-go templates you can try in action. Thanks @gorosz for making this newsletter!
@alexnederlof thanks a lot for the feedback, Alex. Glad it's been helpful, and I'll keep at it!
Congratulations on your launch! I always love reading your articles, and it's not surprising so many thousands of people are too. So excited to see where this ends up in another 6-12 months :)
@monicalent thanks a lot, Monica! I have topics enough for 24 more months, and that is not counting the suggestions I get from others... let's see where it will be in a year, indeed!
I have read a couple of posts from @gorosz and I have to say they are super in detailed with incredible insights, a must read for product and project managers, tech leads, managers and even devs.
Congrats on the launch ๐
Gergely's newsletter has helped me to work better with my engineers. I am a Head of Product in Fintech and the insights that Gergely shares have brought a broader perspective to work better and understand my engineering teams. Additionally, Gergely is one of the few leaders sharing views of the European Tech Ecosystem.
@gorosz Thanks for what you're doing. Big fan of yours.
@lordserch wow, thanks Sergio! This is very cool as Head of Product is not a target audience I had in mind when writing - love it that you can use to better understand and work with your engineers!!
@gorosz The catch here is I studied Software Engineering in university but became a Product Manager 10+ years ago. So, the cause is close to my heart. Your newsletter and Twitter account has helped me to get updated with relevant Engineering topics and yes, also to understand them better, for example your article about the seniority rollercoaster.
I've loved Gergely's transparent, thoughtful analysis, both on his YouTube and Twitter. Congrats on launching, this is going to help so many people ๐ฏ
@rahul_pandey1 Thanks Rahul! I still refer to this video we did together as advice for people wanting to negotiate their offer: Keep it up with the Tech Career Growth Community!!
Congratulations on the launch! I got so much out of the free content that I subscribed. Looking forward to more!
@victor_ribero thanks Victor! Hope I'm not overselling: you tell me in a bit! :)
Hey ๐ - I'm excited to launch The Pragmatic Engineer Newsletter.
When I became an engineering manager at Uber, my manager told me I should invest in my professional growth on an ongoing basis, and suggested I subscribe to and expense publications that help with this.
I searched for online or offline magazines that could help grow, but did not find anything that was specific for engineering leaders at tech companies. In the end, I subscribed to Harvard Business Review, but I felt the contents did not reflect my reality. The approaches felt very removed and more applicable outside engineering. Ironic enough, years later offered to write a post about engineering management, but never even received a response.
So I decided to write the weekly newsletter I wish I had when I joined high-growth startups and larger tech companies, and later when I moved into leadership positions.
Every week, I go deep on topics from running engineering projects, hiring engineers, the job market in tech, platform teams at high-growth startups and large tech companies, and many more.
Gergely's articles, tweets are always addressing the current engineering issues. This is the newsletter which is like a news channel talking openly about good and bad things in tech and educating folks. I have been following his blog and love the way he is able to provide value by talking about "need of the hour" topics. I have learned so much and can definitely recommend this newsletter to engineering leaders.
@princi_ya very nice of you to share, Princiya, thanks! I try my best to stay balanced in covering not just good parts - glad you noticed!
