Too Long; Didn't Read

What a week. As you might or might not know, <a href="https://hackernoon.com/the-ami-origin-story-f386ef84c79c" target="_blank">AMI, the parent company of Hacker Noon, is small</a>. Like surprisingly small. We often get emails &amp; tweets &amp; Facebook messages assuming <a href="https://www.readory.com/sources?ref=producthunt" target="_blank">that we are the size</a> of <a href="https://medium.com/@Medium" data-anchor-type="2" data-user-id="504c7870fdb6" data-action-value="504c7870fdb6" data-action="show-user-card" data-action-type="hover" target="_blank">Medium</a> or <a href="https://medium.com/@HuffPost" data-anchor-type="2" data-user-id="91327d9dac27" data-action-value="91327d9dac27" data-action="show-user-card" data-action-type="hover" target="_blank">The Huffington Post</a> or <a href="https://medium.com/@producthunt" data-anchor-type="2" data-user-id="b8b4445269d0" data-action-value="b8b4445269d0" data-action="show-user-card" data-action-type="hover" target="_blank">Product Hunt</a>, which is flattering but also problematic. I guess it is a good problem to have&nbsp;:-)

Airport rollers buddies: “Hey, we both have no control over where we’re going!”

What a week. As you might or might not know, AMI, the parent company of Hacker Noon, is small. Like surprisingly small. We often get emails & tweets & Facebook messages assuming that we are the size of Medium or The Huffington Post or Product Hunt, which is flattering but also problematic.

yoooooooo Olivia dela Rosa 🙌🙌🙌

So when our only full time employee & CEO David had an accident that brought him to the ER at the wee hours of Monday morning, the impact was real & immediate. Actions had to be taken. And I am now writing the first newsletter ever to 321,616 Hacker Noon readers. This is a completely new territory as my main responsibilities (besides being a mom to David’s child) are to source stories, manage partners, and increase revenue.

As they say — the show must go on, thanks to these amazing & dedicated contributors, and YOU, the readers.
