How do team subscriptions work?
A team subscription covers every engineer on one invoice at a per-seat rate below the individual price. You send a list of work email addresses, each person gets their own Premium access, and finance receives a single receipt for the whole team.
Seats attach to the subscription rather than the person, so a seat can be reassigned when someone joins or leaves. Email the address below with the change and it takes effect the same day.
What does the team get?
- The weekly edition in full
- Including the sections that are truncated on the free tier.
- The complete archive
- 150+ editions, searchable, with source links for each one.
- The five system design templates
- Design doc, capacity estimate, incident review, ADR and migration plan. What each one contains.
- Comment access
- Where the disagreements about the engineering calls happen.
Why buy this for a team rather than letting people expense it?
A shared subscription gives a team the same reference point in the same week, which is the part individual subscriptions miss. Design review arguments get shorter when everyone has read the same write-up of how another company handled the same trade-off.
The other reason is administrative. One invoice at renewal is less work for finance than fifteen expense claims, and it removes the quarterly conversation about whether a newsletter counts as a learning expense.
How do you get started?
Group rates are set up through Substack, or by email if you need a purchase order, a W-9, or an invoice with specific billing details.
Set up a group subscription, or email bytesizeddesigninfo@gmail.com with your team size and any billing requirements.
Is there a discount for students or international readers?
Yes. Email bytesizeddesigninfo@gmail.com from a .edu address, or mention the country you are in, and a rate is arranged individually. Learning should not be gated by tuition debt or an exchange rate.
If you are buying a single seat for yourself and your employer has a learning budget, the expense page has the email to send.
