Newsletters on Dagblog

My regular writing fix, or why I started a newsletter

This year I decided to get back to writing regularly. I’ve really missed it. I’d like to share a weekly assortment of articles and observations with a bit of commentary in newsletter form. I have several reasons.

• Writing a newsletter takes less effort than polishing a full article on a single topic. I can usually do it in the hour I have on the weekend.
• I collect material as I go. I just review my tweets, check the articles I’ve saved or read, or look through my notes.
• I like newsletters and read them myself. A couple of examples are O’Reilly’s newsletters and DevOps Links. I’ve recently added Signal v. Noise. At the same time I’m growing more averse to social networks because it’s getting harder to follow anyone. I usually look through the timeline to see who recommended which article. Or I used to, to use the right tense. Now that some strange central human brain (AI) decides the order instead of showing posts chronologically, most networks are unusable without aimlessly scrolling back and forth.

How to subscribe

There’s no need to track me down on social media (LinkedIn, Twitter). Just click Follow on https://dagblog.cz and the newsletter will land in your inbox. The one catch is that you need an account with Medium, the publishing service I use. They call newsletters letters here, by the way.
