  “Is this Hackernews material?” <= This is the question I ask when reviewing posts from colleagues and peers. It’s not a formula to get to the Hackernews’ front page no matter what. It’s about setting the bar high for one self.

  In this post:

  1. Why we should care about Hackernews and putting our work out there (in this case, in a written form)

  2. How, as an Eng Manager, you can help set that culture and end the excuses (“I have no time”)

  3. How to make your content appealing, and a mental framework I use to tell a story

  I'm also offering a short and free guide on writing and distributing "Hackernews material", for Eng Managers and Software Engineers [1]
