A free newsletter and news site for IT professionals from Morning Brew, published four times a week, covering cybersecurity, cloud, hardware, IT operations, software and the practical side of AI adoption inside companies. Stories are short, reported, and written from the perspective of the people who have to run the systems — patching, asset inventories, wi-fi troubleshooting, legacy migration — rather than the vendors selling to them. Also runs free virtual events and digital guides.
Why I recommend it: Free to read on the site and free to subscribe — the subscribe box asks for an email, but nothing is paywalled. This is one of the better free ways to learn the vocabulary of an IT job you have not had yet, because it covers the unglamorous work that interviews actually ask about. Two things to keep in mind: it is ad and sponsor funded, so sponsored posts sit alongside the reporting and you should check the byline and any 'presented by' line; and it is written for people already inside IT departments, so expect jargon on first read.
This is the only entry from IT Brew in the hub so far.

Revenue Brew reports on new data from Homebase, an AI-powered operator for small businesses: 89% of small businesses using AI report a positive impact, and owners are more than twice as likely to expect AI to help their business grow (49%) than to reduce head count (22%). Nearly three-quarters (74%) of surveyed small businesses are using or piloting AI tools, up from 64% in 2025, with usage ranging from 54% among businesses under $500,000 in revenue to 81% among those above $5 million.
