For Software Engineers and ICs

Hi [name of manager],

I’d like to expense a subscription to the Refactoring newsletter. It’s a weekly newsletter for software engineers and managers, and it would help me get even better at my job.

As a subscriber, I get in-depth issues with actionable advice every week that can help me with my job. The newsletter covers topics like how to improve engineering productivity, do good code reviews, give feedback, managing technical debt, and more.

It costs $150/year ($15/month). If I take just one smarter decision for myself or for my team because of it, it’s already a good deal. I’m pretty sure the ROI on this will easily be 100x.

Let me know if you’re fine with this.

Thanks,
