Loved this recap, Gregor – the collaboration pieces and industry reports are especially strong. I run a data leadership newsletter (Data Biz, https://jimmypang.substack.com/) and would be keen to co‑author something at the intersection of data/engineering leadership and AI in 2026 if you’re open to it.
A few questions that pop to my mind after seeing your growth in 2025:
- How do you drive traffic from Reddit?
- What's the ARR of Engineering Leadership across all its verticals?
The first one comes from my own inexperience using reddit.
The second I think will give a realistic point of view of what all these numbers mean in terms of "can I make a living by writing online about a topic I'm knowledgeable about".
Congrats Gregor, I'm always amazed by the growth of your newsletter and all the other things you have in progress.

Great questions Alberto!
Regarding reddit, I post on r/programming, that subreddit works best. I've added some more info about it here: https://newsletter.eng-leadership.com/p/how-to-start-grow-and-monetize-your
Regarding ARR, let's just say that I make more than I did in my full-time role.
