You don't need more links.
You need fewer, better ones.

The average developer newsletter sends 23 links a week. The average engineer reads three. We did the math and reversed the product. Every edition of Dispatch contains exactly three stories — chosen because they will change how you think about a decision you're making right now, not because they filled a slot.

"Curation is an act of respect for your attention."

The Manifesto

Written by engineers shipping production code,
not content marketers skimming changelogs.

Every story in Dispatch is written by someone who has filed a crash report against the SDK being discussed, migrated a live app through the breaking change being analyzed, or argued the architectural tradeoff in a real team meeting. We don't summarize the press release. We read the diff.
