I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into your news letter, and love your thoughts on scale and density. There seems to be so much pressure to be the biggest which definitely does not equate to the best. Thank you again.

Your newsletter is my absolute favorite among all the newsletters on the internet. As a professional Software Engineer, currently working as an Engineering Manager at a large company in the U.S., I greatly value the perspective you offer on technology. Your approach of showcasing small but meaningful examples of human knowledge and art, reminds me of the internet's original purpose of disseminating positive information. Your newsletter keeps the flame of hope and inspiration alive, and I am extremely grateful for it.

Please know that your newsletter is the one I actually read. The one I forward and recommend. The one I mark and go back to. The links I follow. The one that inspires. Your books lend out to several teachers (since the Dutch copies seem to be out of print). Hope you keep up this amazing newsletter and your amazing work!

Ahh, thank you! And I will keep writing, this post was more a realisation that the actual subscriber count doesn't matter to me - the readers do. (I love my Dutch publisher, will need to check if they'd like to reissue the bindup version of the book..)

I really appreciate the sense of intimacy your writing seems to engender. I have followed your newsletter nearly from the beginning, and I look forward to each edition. Each has at least one nugget of pure gold. Thankyou.

These remarks are so lovely! (And surprising - I didn't anticipate them while writing about scale :D) Thinking prompts is such a nice concept too.
