DevOps Newsletters

This is pretty neat. Newsletter discovery is one of the biggest challenges right now. So many people are getting bogged down with crappy newsletter because they can't find the no-name authors that are generating top shelf content.

Would be cool if there is a review/ranking mechanism to help the best boil to the top.

This is one of many things I miss about RSS: there were "planets" or other aggregations of individual RSS feeds. So you could get curated content from a host of authors, and if you didn't like the curation you could grab the OPML and customize it.

Newsletters are fine, but they feel like a massive step backward both functionally and from a privacy perspective.

Totally agree about RSS. I think the best thing about email is that authors get to build their own connection to the audience. Either way, there are options to make this happen if you want it: https://feedbin.com/blog/2016/02/03/subscribe-to-email-newsl...
