Sponsoring The Pragmatic Engineer

I occasionally receive inquiries about sponsorships for The Pragmatic Engineer newsletter or blog. The Pragmatic Engineer Newsletter is the #1 technology newsletter on Substack.

I do not offer any form of sponsorships, partnerships, or collaborations in exchange for any form of payment or financial benefit (including affiliates). This is because I want to stay independent as a newsletter and unbiased in my coverage. This independence is more valuable for me than any sponsorship might be. See also my ethics statement. And here are some more details on how much I made and why I removed ads from this blog, and why I removed affiliate links.

I do recommend other newsletters for sponsorship. All the below ones are quality newsletters read by engaged audience which tend to offer good price-for-value in sponsorships. As with all my recommendations, I have not been paid to recommend these – I just like them, and so do sponsors I talked with:
