Gergely writes so many impeccable engineering takeaways that every time you open his feed you feel both wiser and personally underperforming, like getting graded by a kindly professor who also used to deploy at Uber.

Built the #1 software engineering newsletter on Substack and a six-figure-strong audience on X, turning hands-on industry experience into a widely trusted resource for engineers and leaders.

To elevate software engineering practice by turning frontline experience into practical guidance, ethical perspective, and reproducible lessons that help engineers and leaders make better decisions.

Values clarity, pragmatism, and evidence over hype; believes engineering is both a craft and a social system that improves when people share honest lessons, prioritize security and privacy by design, and protect communal goodwill.

Credibility from real-world experience (Uber, Skype), consistent long-form output, data-driven insights, a strong, trusted voice in the engineering community, and an audience that amplifies his work.

Can be perceived as blunt or overly analytical in short-form debates, which can attract heated replies; prolific posting risks diluting attention across many threads rather than concentrating impact.

On X, convert newsletter lessons into bite-sized, serializable threads with clear TL;DRs and a call-to-action to subscribe; pin an evergreen ‘best-of’ thread; reuse short explainer videos and quote tweets to resurface older essays; collaborate with peers for co-authored threads and AMAs to tap new audiences.

Fun fact: Gergely runs the top software engineering Substack and has 321,226 followers on X, has tweeted 44,545 times, and one of his tweets about VPNs garnered over 3 million views, yes, engineers will read privacy homework on the timeline.
