Newsletters are how I make sure I am not living under a rock. This is just a brain dump of the newsletters I subscribe to and read regularly. If I ever lose access to my email, this is where I will come to find them. Full disclosure: I am a full-stack developer technically, but I am more inclined towards backend development and system design.

🚀 Must-Reads (Cannot Live Without)

• Hacker Newsletter – Hacker News’ top posts, delivered weekly. Essentially developer heaven. Absolutely cannot live without.
• Tech / Daily – Daily updates from Hacker News, if you are of the impatient kind.
• TechCrunch Daily – Covers startups, Silicon Valley news, and tech industry trends. Highly recommended.
• TLDR Dan – Quick, digestible summaries of tech news. Well-written TLDRs and not AI-generated crap (I hope).
• Robinhood Snacks – Financial and stock market news with some well-thought humor.
• Python Weekly – A must-have for Python developers with the latest libraries, tools, and articles.
• SRE Weekly – Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) insights, best practices, system design and incident management.
• JavaScript Weekly – The JavaScript version of Python Weekly, if you are into frontend development.

🤓 Nice to Have (Can Live Without, But Good to Know)

• Pycoder’s Weekly – Another solid Python newsletter, but not as essential as Python Weekly. Self-promotion and ads kill it sometimes.
• Postgres Weekly – Postgres essential.
• Tyler from ui.dev – Frontend development updates with humor.
• BeansAndBytes – Recently discovered - like TLDR Dan but even more succinct.
• Programmer Weekly – General programming news, tutorials, and discussions.
• Frontend Focus – Web development and frontend technologies roundup.
• Medium Weekly Digest – A collection of trending Medium posts, but can be hit-or-miss. Mostly behind paywall.
• Lifehacker Newsletter – Productivity, life hacks, and tech tips. Hit-or-miss.
