Letter from the Editor

Hey there, Core family!

I know it's a bit early for our monthly editor's letter, but today isn't just any day—it's my birthday!

Nothing could make this milestone more special than celebrating it with all of you. Your presence and support were my greatest gifts last year (and honestly, ever). Even though I work crazy hours and struggle with random challenges, your time, shares, and feedback make this project worthwhile.

• Thanks to you, we've hit 7,000 subscribers this week, which is a wonderful reminder that we're doing something special.

• How about our 2025 strategy? It’s all set—fresh content, exciting expansions, and more are on the way.

• In other news, I just launched a new newsletter called Rewrite. I'd love to have you on board if you're looking for more behind-the-scenes stories and a cozier vibe.

• I'm considering Patreon and Buy Me a Coffee to answer those who've asked how they can support The Core further. Your readership already provides the most help, so it would be amazing if you contributed financially.

Let's welcome a new year, a new age (for me! ), and an ongoing journey together. Thanks for being my greatest inspiration and making my birthday—and every day—special. Let's raise a glass for you. Cheers to all that’s ahead!

With gratitude and a celebratory heart,

Fatih Taskiran, Editor of The Core
