Hello <COMPANY>,
As a tech company with a strong engineering culture, it is my understanding that one of your goals is to promote the growth of your employees. To that end, I humbly request that you provide your employees with what I would like to call a hack budget.
This budget would help facilitate learning and skill development outside of an employee’s normal routine. Our field is constantly changing field and being able to explore unfamiliar paradigms and new tools is critical in both the employee’s and the company’s future.
We will be putting our money put towards our soldering irons, private instances, dns entries, technical books and resources both phyiscal and digital in hopes of refining our craft. We often have projects that we would like to tinker with, but have trouble getting started simply because there’s the extra step in planning out and purchasing the resources we need. Sometimes it’s enough to stall us for weeks or months at a time. Please help reduce this friction and lower these barriers to entry.
With you as our patron, we will spend our time after hours creating spaghetti code as well as beautiful interfaces, but you’ll see us grow either way. The amount we would spend is a pittance when compared to your operating expenses, and we’ll always be thankful that you were there helping us grow.
Sincerely,
