People Really Love The Newsletter

" Must-read for me. The 'If you only read one thing' section is a personal favourite, showcasing Stephans ability to curate content. I highly recommend this newsletter! "

Łukasz Sudoł,
Senior Director of Engineering

" I read Stephan's newsletter every Sunday. I like that he comments each link, sharing his own insights and views on it. Especially since I share Stephan's view that the software development industry has become unnecessarily complex. "

Markus Wüstenberg,
Owner of maragu &
maker of Go courses

Example Newsletter

This is how the newsletter looks. I often have some content on my own to start, like in this example. Then follow a list of interesting articles with my take on every one of them from my experience. Each newsletter includes an overview of the CTO job market.

Includes Books For CTOs

For all subscribers, I have included a list of must-read books for CTOs. Besides the classics, there are many surprising books you'll not going to find on other lists. I also tell you why the book is important for you.

Who is writing the newsletter?

As a CTO, Interim CTO, CTO Coach - and developer - I have seen many technology departments in fast-growing startups. As a kid I taught myself coding in a department store around 1981 because I wanted to write video games. When the internet came to Germany in the 90 I worked as the first coder in several startups. Late I founded a VC funded startup, worked in VC funded, fast growing startups with architecture, processes and growth challenges, worked as a manager for ImmoScout and as a CTO of an eBay Inc. company. After my wife successfully sold her startup we moved to the sea and I took up CTO coaching. You can find me on LinkedIn
