Advice, observations and inspiration for engineering leaders
Advice, observations and inspiration for engineering leaders
The #1 newsletter for engineering managers and senior engineers on Substack. Written by engineering manager and senior engineer Gergely Orosz (previously at Uber, Skype/Microsoft, and high-growth startups).
What to expect:
Actionable advice for engineering managers and engineers. Topics covered are relevant to those working at tech companies. Get tools and insights to become a more efficient engineering leader. If you use just one approach to make your project, team, or company more efficient, the weekly newsletter already pays for itself.
Big tech and high-growth startups focus. Tech is accelerating rapidly: but some fast-moving companies are ahead of the rest of the pack. What are they doing differently and why? I go deep.
An independent viewpoint. I don’t take sponsorships of any kind, and disclose any affiliation I would have with companies covered.

Group/company subscriptions
Buy a group subscription here. When setting up a group subscription, an administrator can purchases X annual seats for the group. They can then add/remove/replace people in the organization who receive newsletter issues. Here’s how the user interface looks like for the group manager.
Invoices can be generated to expense groups and additional group members can also be added later on.
Group discounts: Use this group discount for groups of 5 or more seats. Contact me for further group discounts when purchasing over 10 seats.
