ssp.sh Newsletter

Welcome to my newsletter. I’m Simon, a data engineer, author, and founder & freelance technical writer. This newsletter is my way of sharing my ongoing journey in data engineering, writing, and Learning in Public.

Every now and then, no regular schedule, only when I have something worth sharing (a new article, new notes I’ve been working on in my Second Brain, or just thoughts I want to send your way.

Each edition is meant as a handy overview, so you don’t have to keep checking my brain or social media posts yourself:

• Current projects and learnings from my freelance technical writing.
• Deep dives into data engineering concepts I’m exploring, including new blog posts on my website.
• A curated digest of recent Second Brain notes I’ve added or expanded.
• Highlights from my Bluesky (same on what I post on X/Twitter) and the posts that resonated and the latest threads.
• Progress and insights from my book « Patterns of Data Engineering».
• Interesting books I’m reading, thoughts they’ve sparked.
• Anything that comes to mind from things I’ve created or come across.

Subscribe to the Newsletter

Nothing really, but it’s not a newsletter like Substack, it’s me just writing to you, what’s on my mind. I try to share interesting things to hopefully give you ideas or things that are unexpected, sometimes nerdy computer stuff, but also life, philosophy, and other things I am interested in at the moment, when learning every day.

Mostly tough about my experiences from my work in data engineering and technical writing. Some behind-the-scenes from my Obsidian and Neovim workflow and things I’m learning.
