Newsletters I read

I subscribe to a select few email newsletters that focus on slightly different topics. The list is updated whenever I change my mind.

The Beautiful Mess

John Cutler is one of the most thoughtful persons when it comes to digital product development and all the surrounding work. A weekly newsletter exploring the beautiful mess of cross-functional product development. There is always something to think deeply around here.

Gad's Newsletter

Gad Allon, professor of operations, information and decisions scaling, writes surprisingly fun stories about operations, the gig economy, and supply chains. Some of my favorites include pieces about gondolas (like at a ski resort, but in different places), how to make food donations efficient, and how delivery services and cloud kitchens creates and reduces waste.

SatPost

Trung Phan's SatPost is a great mix of interesting stories about everything between why LinkedIn is so cringe, how Mona Lisa got famous, what Apple and Amazon does differently, and whether Michelin stars still matter. One fun and interesting longread every Saturday, just like the name implies.

Matt Richard

Matt, a former Kubernetes engineer and machine learning expert, writes a short but insightful observation every day. The topics vary between build systems, cloud deployment strategies, and large language models. Occasionally summarizes an interesting historical event or explains a term from computer science.

Product Teardown

Kristen Berman is specialized in how products can be designed to change human behavior in an impactful way. Each teardown looks at a specific digital product, like Calm, BeReal, and Loom, that aims to create a lasting behavioral change and explain the psychological aspects of how this is done.
