Metadata: HN, and Community
By metadata, I mean “Here’s an update about the newsletter, rather than an article itself.”
Hacker News
If Dan Moore sent you here by posting in HN, welcome! You might enjoy reading about imposter syndrome, or about telling the right story.
If you have questions or comments that you’re particularly proud of, I invite you to post them in the substack comments instead of (or in addition to) the HN comments. That way, my other readers can more easily see and respond to them. No pressure, I’m not the boss of you.
Community
If you like the stuff I write about, you might also like to join a Slack server I recently started. It’s mostly full of other software engineers who like to talk about the same stuff that I like to write about. No matter where you are in your career, we’re happy to have you; we have boot camp students, mid-level SWEs, and engineering managers (as long as they remember what it was like to be an IC). If you want to influence what I talk about, this is the best way to do that.
