The Hybrid Hacker

🖖 Hi! Nicola here.

I write essays about engineering leadership, management or productivity and every Thursday, you will receive one directly in your inbox.

What to Expect?

• One original essay of at least 1500 words, delivered straight to your inbox or readable on the Substack app, every week.

• Hours of research and real-world experience condensed into easily understandable articles.

• Nice and clear visuals to explain complex concepts, theories, and frameworks.

• Learn about engineering management, leadership and productivity in a way that you would usually only learn with a dedicated coach.

• Connect with me to dig deeper in any of the topic I write about.

Why Should You Become a Paid Subscriber?

Whether you are a first-time Engineering Manager or an experienced one, or even an Engineer aiming to advance in your career, The Hybrid Hacker newsletter is an invaluable resource that already covers a wealth of knowledge and resources you can apply to your everyday job. This means hours and hours of research, experiences, and insights I applied first-hand with the teams I manage, all condensed into easily readable articles always at your disposal.

But there's more. With the paid subscription plan, if you stay with me for at least 6 months, you'll receive a 30-minute Mentoring Call, a valuable offering in itself that justifies the cost of the newsletter.

Moreover, please consider that writing this newsletter is a significant investment for me (I've calculated that I invest $4k+ every month to produce it). Therefore, I would be immensely grateful if you supported my work.
