GlossaryTech Newsletter: Issue 1
Tech lingo explained in simple terms and tools to help you be a more productive recruiter/sourcer.
Folks,
We finally launched our long-awaited newsletter 🎉
It’s been over five years since GlossaryTech was born. All this time our small Ukrainian 🇺🇦 team - led by Andrew Stetsenko - has been doing our best to keep its web version and the Chrome extension up-to-date and in good working order, no matter what.
This October, for instance, we added ~200 new terms related to Front-End and Back-End Development, Data Science, DevOps, and QA. Additionally:
✅ Our Chrome Extension was migrated to Manifest V3 for better security/stability.
✅ The extension is now also available for Microsoft Edge.
Lastly, we began working on our newsletter, which we had been putting off for so long. As of now, the plan is to keep it short and teach you five technology terms as well as a few helpful recruiting/sourcing tools every other week.
Hopefully, you will find it useful. Otherwise, there’s always an option to unsubscribe.
Without further ado, let us introduce you to the first issue of our newsletter.
