A special perk for The Pragmatic Engineer paid subscribers: get 12 months of Perplexity Pro, and 3 months of Kagi Ultimate, for free! Both are excellent alternatives to Google search - in my experience, better ones actually.

(This is not an ad: I’ve not been paid for this and don’t get any form of compensation. It’s something I asked Perplexity and Kagi if they would do - as I’ve been a paid customer for about a year for each, and they both said yes.)
