Matt Burns’ Post

Sorry LinkedIn, I need to brag (and recruit) for a second. Things are going great, and I feel great. We're growing the team to keep up, too. If you're an editor or writer who lives in this stuff, AI, cloud native, data, I want to talk. DM me. I've spent the last two and a half years at Insight Media Group, working with the editorial teams at The New Stack, Towards Data Science, and roadmap.sh. The growth this year has been amazing. For the first time, the network crossed 60 million pageviews in a single half, up 144% from the last half. The New Stack is a steady march. Up 37% year over year, and up 50% from the back half of last year. Towards Data Science has published work from 230 authors this year alone, and most of them got paid well for the published content. TDS is hitting just shy of 2 million monthly pageviews. And roadmap.sh. It's a rocket ship. Kamran Ahmed has shipped more features and updates than I can list here, and the user growth has been explosive. Roadmap alone has 3 million monthly users, and we just launched Lesson Packs, a faster way for users to go deep on a specific skill without stitching the path together themselves. This is a fun job. I love the work, I love the people, and I'm thankful to be building this network with Joey Hinson, Henry Pickavet, Kamran Ahmed, Nick Lucchesi, Ludovic Bénistant, Javier Canales Luna, Jessica Brunner, Andrew Tillery, Laila Bailey and so many others.
