My favorite Newsletters as a Full stack Developer

People always ask me, "Alex, how do you stay up to date with tech?" (Nobody asks me that.) One way to be time-efficient is to use newsletters.

I use a tool like https://read.readwise.io/.

It's a read-later app where you can subscribe to all your newsletters.

Also, when you see an interesting article but don't have time to read it now or have an article you'd like to find later, it helps to use that tool. Here are some of my favorite newsletters. Keep in mind that I am a full stack developer who is primarily interested in JavaScript.
