Field Notes has a new home
Field Notes is moving to my own site: sterlingsmith.fyi
You don’t need to do anything. Your subscription moves with me, and new essays will arrive by email like they always have, just from a different address. If you’d rather not come along, the first email will have a one-click unsubscribe, no hard feelings.
Why the move? I wanted the writing to live somewhere I own outright. One site, my name on the domain, essays and photographs in one place. I write about the future of work, what it takes to build something from nothing, and the craft that keeps me sharp, including the film photography this newsletter started with.
Three pieces are already up:
The 25-a-week ceiling, on the math that decides who gets hired: sterlingsmith.fyi/ceiling
Why I shoot film while building AI, for the Field Notes faithful: sterlingsmith.fyi/film
Why I’m Building RightMatch, the origin story: sterlingsmith.fyi/why-im-building-rightmatch
This archive stays up, but everything new happens at sterlingsmith.fyi. See you there.
Sterling
