100K Celebration

30% Off Lifetime

This newsletter started as a way to force er… encourage myself to write Tidy First?. If I had paying subscribers, my reasoning went, I would feel bad about not writing & a little good about writing.

What has emerged has exceeded any of my expectations. I published the book last year. I passed 1000 paying subscribers, enabling me to quit my day job & focus on writing. This month I passed 100,000 total subscribers.

And the best part is this newsletter is no longer about me. A vibrant, thoughtful, communicative community has formed to discuss where software development—software design, yes, but also process, business, AI, personal & team growth—is going.

One of the benefits subscribers pay for is a weekly Thinkie, a habit of creative thought that I share once a week (see the introduction below). Thinkies have about reached critical mass, with a conference coming next year for paying subscribers & a book not long after.

I’ve chosen professional pricing for my newsletter as the best tradeoff of sustainability & access. However, a discount never hurts, right? So this week, get 30% off your paid subscription & receive your Thinkie, draft chapters of Tidy Together, & access to our loud, thoughtful, creative community. Expense it if you can—your employer will be receiving the benefits of your new skills & perspective.
