The Road to 300k

Too Long; Didn't Read

<strong>Hacker Noon surpassed 300k Medium followers this week</strong>. It’s humbling. It’s been a ton of work. At the end of the day, it’s a lot of people who trust <a href="http://hackernoon.com" target="_blank">HackerNoon.com</a> as a place to read great tech stories. It’s not something I take lightly. And yet, it doesn’t really mean much, because when the day to day is driven by follower count, you never have the followers or the number of followers you want — and maybe that’s because they call them ‘<em>followers</em>.’ Oh, social media. These are people who read. I care about providing readers something worth their time. By focusing on the stories, we serve the readers. It’s always the stories first. The tech professionals writing down their work, their failures, and the walls they walked through. Writing with purpose. Writing with experience. Publishing the work you want to share. It’s about how you change tech and about how you make peace with tech. <a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Here%27s%20a%20story%20I%27d%20like%20to%20Publish%20on%20Hacker%20Noon" target="_blank">Submit your story to Hacker Noon today.</a>
