A weekly newsletter by Sal Shirgaleev

Ship more with agents.

Every week: the tools, workflows, and prompts I actually use to ship.

No theory, no news roundup. What worked, what broke, and what you can copy on Monday — plus free perks on the tools themselves.

You're on the list. 🚢

Who writes it

Sal Shirgaleev

Self-taught engineer · ex-Dataminr · 60k on Instagram

I dropped out of school and taught myself to code. Ten years later, I've shipped production code at Dataminr and other AI companies — real-time AI systems and fintech platforms managing billions of dollars. Now I run a fleet of agents to ship every day, and share how with 60k people on Instagram.

This newsletter is the working notes from that fleet. Whatever I figured out last week, you get on Thursday.

Perks rotate

Deals expire and get swapped for new ones. Subscribers get each one while it's live — miss the window and it's gone. Subscribing now costs nothing and keeps you in front of every drop.

FAQ

Common questions

How much does it cost?

Nothing. The newsletter is free and so are the perks.

How often will you email me?

Once a week. No drip sequences, no daily blasts. Unsubscribe in one click.

Is this only for coders?

No. It's AI coding and AI productivity — agents, skills, prompts, and tools. Total beginners and vibecoders welcome.

What's the catch with the perks?

None. They're deals I've collected from tool vendors; some pay a commission if you sign up, which is what keeps the newsletter free.

Do I have to subscribe to see the perks?

Not right now — the directory is open. That will change, so grab what you want early.

Your unfair advantage, weekly.

Free forever. 312 perks the moment you're in.
