AMA with Habr. # 18. Marathon, Promo and Updated Digest

Posts with AMA (Ask Me Anything) are published on the last Friday of every month, which means this initiative is already 1.5 years old. But never before have we been in the same situation as now. We will not talk about the theme of the year (we hope that other topics of this kind will not happen and any flashes on the Sun and asteroids will not surprise human civilization even more), but try to find something positive. Fortunately, Habr is working in full force from home and is ready to please his readers.



To begin with, two small events that are important for the history of Habr:

  1. The situation with the virus affected attendance: in March, Habr was read by record 13.5 million people. So, even more people learned about Habr and a little bit joined the IT world (what if someone is sitting quietly at home and already learning JavaScript or Python?).
  2. We took 1st place in the ranking of digital rights of users (from RosKomSvoboda). Because we can and are trying for you.


And yet, and yet - we came up with cool activities for the audience. They are useful, free and will not allow the abyss. Join now!

Marathon


In April, the guys from the Habr Career team (formerly "My Circle") launched a pilot Marathon udalenki . In fact, this is a series of lessons, webinars and other jokes that will help you not lose your mind when working from home. But in general, this is not just entertainment for the evening - it is a well-thought-out layer of benefits and knowledge shared by employees of IT companies: ivi, Rambler, Yandex, Dodo Pizza, Wrike and Skyeng.

In general, I like this: even though “My Circle” climbed harmoniously under the Habr’s wing, it continues to remain a separate world, with its ecosystem, movement, research , etc.

Habr Promo


Colleagues from the commercial department decided to open the Habr Promo section on Habré . By and large - a huge piggy bank of various promotional codes and promotions / offers (from our partners and not only), which will save a couple of rubles in difficult times. Share the link with your friends, as well as drop in before every online purchase.



You can learn more about the section from the post-announcement .
