So, what you have here is a recording of last week’s issue, Amy Writes Words, #20: On Metrics: Part 1 of 3 million.
It occurred to me that some of you may prefer to listen to me read my newsletter to you while you do dishes rather than you yourself having to read the newsletter. So I thought I’d experiment. But I’m lazy and the experiment needed to be very cheap.
(If you can run a cheap experiment, you should. There’s your engineering wisdom for the day.)
This is not good audio quality. I was on my roof and there are a lot of sirens in my neighborhood. I did no post-processing at all. Yes, I’m really that sloppy come the end of October, it’s a miracle I’m shipping newsletters at all right now.
Please reply and let me know if you like this and would like more of it and would prefer it with better sound quality and I will think about investing in better equipment and recording inside the closet rather than on the roof.
That’s all folks. Good enough is good enough.
Subscriptions, updates, other projects, etc:
If you like this post why not share it?
If you like this newsletter why not subscribe, and now when you subscribe I offer you the option to pay! $5/month or $50/year or $150/year if you think I’m actually super great and have the money to spare.
Paying subscribers will get subscriber-only discussion threads and probably some subscriber-only posts, but mainly you get the joy of supporting my work.
You can start a new subscription or upgrade your subscription to pay me here:
Upcoming Talks, etc.:
I’ll be giving a talk (remotely) at Rubyconf 2021, on debugging product teams. If this sounds interesting to you just smash that reply button and let me know and I’ll make sure you’re one of the first people to hear when it goes live. (I may also be offering this as a full course! Stay tuned.)
Consulting services:
I do engineering management consulting or leadership coaching on a limited basis. Get in touch if you’d like to learn more!
I am also still offering my office hours for women and non-binary engineers, sign up here and please share with folks you think could benefit.
Unrelated projects:
Reminder that I started another newsletter: “Woe: Mental Health Tips You'll Hate From The Saddest Woman In the World” and you can subscribe here: https://buttondown.email/woe It’s a weekly on Wednesdays short newsletter I’ll be offering at least through the end of the year. It’s also sometimes an advice column so if you have a question you’d like answered in Woe then hit me up!
Also, 50,000 selfies later, I now do portrait photography and modeling. Get in touch if you’re in the Boston area and you want a portrait or you need a model.
Talk to me!
I love to hear from my readers so you can always smash that reply button and let me know what you’re thinking.
