A newsletter of interviews with self-taught and bootcamp-trained developers describing how they learned to code without a computer science degree and how they got their jobs. Each issue pairs a career story with a Q&A and is funded partly by sponsors and the author's own product promotions.

Kent Beck writes about software design, testing and programming technique, framing them as ways of improving human relationships among developers. Issues mix practical techniques such as refactoring tests with reflections on working with AI coding tools and mental models for feedback loops.
Casey Muratori's newsletter announces new videos from his Performance-Aware Programming course and his Q&A sessions, covering low-level topics like SIMD, CPU behaviour, and optimization. Readers get video updates plus answers to viewer questions on game development, timing, and software complexity.
Jeff Atwood, co-founder of Stack Overflow and Discourse, writes personal essays on programming, online communities and the human side of technology. Recent issues cover Stack Overflow's legacy in the age of LLMs, a conference talk, and his new TWiT show.
Felix Geisendörfer writes technical posts about Go runtime internals, profiling, and performance tooling, drawn from his work on Datadog's profiler. Readers get deep dives into stack trace capture, practical guides such as making tech videos, and walkthroughs of profiling features for debugging request latency.
