Every day we strive to do better for our members.
It's inspiring to see how many people join to share their knowledge and help others. This is a community of givers.
There's a lot of value beyond Slack. Just knowing that we helped some people get a job or gig makes this all worthwhile.
We don't ask for much in return for incredible access to some of the best minds in the industry. And we have lots of plans to take this feedback and do better next year.
Detailed, nitty gritty, expert Slack discussions, and exclusive content with the web's best minds, are the most important for member value.
Trends aside, we aim to provide fundamental knowledge that stands the test of time. Next year, expect more technical guides and tools, and more content strategy that extends to other organic channels. More everthing – got it!
We hear you loud and clear: More women, diverse experts, legit tools. More AI. Less AI.
