Software. Leadership. The ideas that won’t leave me alone.

Welcome to the Midnight Thinker Newsletter

The blog now has a newsletter. Here is what to expect.

1 min read

If you are reading this in your inbox, the newsletter is working — and you signed up at some point, so thank you.

A quick note on what this is and what it is not.

What it is: An occasional email when I publish something new here. Once or twice a month at most, probably less. No drip campaigns, no product announcements, no “I thought you might find this interesting” forwards. Just a heads-up when a new essay lands.

What it is not: A replacement for the blog. Everything goes up at midnightthinker.com first and stays there permanently. The email is just a nudge for people who do not want to check back manually.

If that sounds useful, stick around. If your inbox is already too full, the unsubscribe link is below — no hard feelings.

More soon.

— Rob

About the author

Rob Cataneo

I think about technology, meaning, and the strange places they overlap — usually late at night when the ideas refuse to stay quiet. These posts are attempts to work things out in the open: the questions I keep returning to, the patterns I can't stop noticing, the moments where something clicks at an odd hour. I'm a builder by trade and a wonderer by temperament.
