I'm (re-)starting a newsletter
This post was published on May 11, 2026Just a quick update to let those of you who bookmarked this blog or who have subscribed to my RSS feed know that I have (re-)started a newsletter.
Why a newsletter?
As you might know (or not), while I’ve been pretty active on LinkedIn over the years, I do have a love-hate (or rather an appreciate-hate) relationship with that platform.
Lately, I’ve been noticing that the pendulum is swinging in the ‘hate’ direction more often, mainly because the ever-changing algorithm used by LinkedIn makes it incredibly hard to predict if people are even going to see what I write.
I’d rather publish my thoughts, ideas and other ramblings via a platform that I do control, and that platform will be a newsletter.
I’ve had a newsletter in the past, but that only lived for about three months. This time, I intend to keep writing and publishing a new issue every week. The first edition goes out a few hours after I’m writing this, and a new issue will be sent to subscribers every Monday morning around 11 AM CET.
But what about the blog?
I’ll still publish to the blog, too, but that will be on a much less regular basis. Just like it has been for a while, really. The idea is to post the more ‘technical’ posts, that is, the ones including code, directly to my blog, whereas the ‘text-and-images-only’ posts go through my blog post first.
My priority is with the newsletter, though.
How to subscribe
That’s easy, just go to the subscription page, leave your email address, click the button on the confirmation email and you’re in.
I promise I won’t use the newsletter or your email to spam or sell to you. Ever.
