Newsletter · DispatchMonthly-ish · ~600 words
Quiet, monthly.
One thing at a time.
A short letter once a month — what I'm building, what I've learned the hard way, and the occasional essay before it lands on the blog. No tracking, no funnels.
What you'll get
- One essay — a single thought worked out at length. Architecture decisions, business mistakes, opinions on the boring middle of the stack.
- Build notes — short logs from active projects. What broke, what shipped, what I'd do differently.
- One link worth your time — paper, talk, repository, or essay I keep returning to. Never a sponsored slot.
- Studio status — slot openings, rate changes, seasonal availability. So you hear about a free quarter before anyone else.
House rules
- Double opt-in. You confirm via a one-click link before you're ever on the list.
- One-click unsubscribe. Every email has it. The token is permanent — the link in your confirmation works forever.
- Self-hosted. No Mailchimp, no ConvertKit, no Substack. Sent from a single SMTP line on European infrastructure. Your address never leaves my database.
- No tracking pixels. Open / click rates are not measured. If you read it, you read it.
