Frequently Asked Questions

Why The Coder Cafe over learning with an LLM?

I’m not here to convince you not to use Gemini, ChatGPT, or any LLMs to learn about concepts. If that works for you, that’s great to hear.

In The Coder Cafe, my goal is to bring more value than what a classic LLM would do using my own experience working at companies like Google and Docker combined with my own approach to teaching. Writing and explaining concepts is part of my DNA (I started writing even before graduating), and I think the best showcase is the reviews on my book.

How much does it cost?

A subscription to The Coder Cafe costs under the price of an expresso each day—only about $0.40 per issue1.

Some of my colleagues would also be interested in reading The Coder Cafe. Can we arrange a company deal?

Yes! Reach out via email at contact@the*****.cafe, and we can discuss custom arrangements via group subscriptions.

Can I suggest a new topic?

Absolutely! Suggest your topics here.

I’m a student, and I can’t afford a paid subscription.

If you’re a student or transitioning in tech, I would love to support your journey. Just email contact@the*****.cafe, and I will grant you a free paid subscription for the duration of your studies.

Do you have a goal in terms of subscribers?

Yes, my goal is to reach 400 paid subscribers before April 7th (6-month anniversary). Achieving this will allow me to dedicate more time to creating content and delivering even greater value to the readers.
