Four specialists. One you.
The intelligence analyst, the career strategist, the communications lead, and the briefing aide that a $300/hr coach would give an executive — now within reach of a salaried engineer with two kids and no spare evenings.
-
KNOW — Pulse: Your intelligence analyst.
Reads the firehose so you read three things. Stack-calibrated, decision-ready — never a digest.
"AWS shipped native TF state locking in S3, kills your DynamoDB lock table." Reply 1 to get the 3-line backend change.
-
GROW — Growth: Your career strategist.
Reframes the 9 PM dread into a goal-gradient plan that fits in 20 minutes a day. Maintains the trajectory model nobody else maintains.
"DevOps isn’t dying — comp’s up 8%, 70% of AI Engineer roles want your infra skills. You’re a 12-week MLOps bridge. Want the path?"
-
SHINE — Voice: Your communications lead.
Ghostwrites in your voice from your real work — refuses to sound like ChatGPT. Strategic engagement, comment-window-aware, never SDR-spam.
"3 drafts from this week’s work — (1) the TF state-lock migration you did, (2) the eBPF talk takeaway, (3) the on-call retro. Pick one to refine."
-
BE THERE — Companion: Your briefing aide.
Sits beside you in every vendor demo, every talk, every conference. Refuses to let an event evaporate.
"KubeCon: I picked your 9 must-attend sessions (stack-matched), pre-briefed each, and the speaker list is your new watchlist."

Quick questions, quick answers.
-
Is this for me or my team?
You. SideKyk for tech is a personal Chief of Staff, not a productivity tool for an engineering org. One user at a time, deeply calibrated to your stack and your trajectory. No work-system access (Slack, Jira, email-at-work are off-limits) — the data surface is strictly first-person.
-
What stacks does it know?
Onboarding asks you four questions — role, stack, industry, briefing time. Tell it "DevOps, K8s + AWS + Terraform, fintech, 7:30" and your first brief lands tomorrow morning at 7:30, calibrated to exactly that. Switch stacks later? Just message it.
-
How is this different from another newsletter or feed reader?
A newsletter sends everyone the same 20 things. A feed reader hands you a firehose. Pulse reads 1,100 HN stories so you read 3 — chosen because they change YOUR architecture, your industry, or your career trajectory. Decision-ready, not a digest.
-
Does it write LinkedIn posts in my voice?
Yes — Voice ghostwrites from your real work (the migration you actually shipped, the talk you actually watched), in your tone, with a queue of 3-5 drafts a week. You approve every send. It learns whenever you edit. No generic AI slop.
-
When does it ship?
Soon. Drop your WhatsApp number and we’ll message you the day onboarding opens — before any public launch. No spam, just one message when it’s your turn.
