$5/moBlue Jay$4.50 is about how much you'll spend on a decent latte in the Chicago Loop, where I work. This tier is designed for beginning and intermediate individual contributors in the tech community, To that end, a latte a month gets you:Access to audio readings (by the author—that's me ;) of some of my most popular blog posts and series. Expect 2-4 per month, with listening times of five to twenty five minutes for each one.The knowledge that you are supporting resources to build a savvier software community. Go you!

$16/moBlue and Gold MaccawThis tier is meant for senior individual contributors and managers. In addition to the rewards in the Blue Jay tier, this tier includes:Exclusive written posts that I've deemed "too spicy" for my general blog. These often cover topics like job searches, workshop design conundrums, and topics I'm learning about.You get to sponsor one "gift" day per year (i.e., you can choose a day during which folks can subscribe to get the audio readings from this Patreon for $1 per month.)

$25/moChilean Blue EagleThis tier is meant for staff and principal engineers. In addition to the rewards in the previous tiers, this tier includes:Automatic access to the slides and materials for each recorded course I produce while you are a patron (these are sporadic because they take a lot of work, but you will get them all)Advance announcements about every workshop and playtest I do, to make sure you can get a spot if you want one.

$999/moFlockThis tier is not for individuals; it's for CTOs/Directors of Engineering to choose for their COMPANY to invest. That's because $999 is nothing to a company—they spend more than this per week as a result of inefficient AWS setups without blinking—but it means a lot to me. This tier gets different benefits than the others:I'll list you on a sponsor page on my blog with completion of the "Seven Questions for Companies" on this page: https://chelseatroy.com/are-you-hiring/First right of refusal to sponsor or distribute new ebooks or audio series.First chance to book workshops and course slots at steep discounts, and some number of automatic slots in any workshop that I produce. For context, this tier pays for itself when you book two (2) in-person two hour workshops with me on the topics of technical debt, analyzing risk in software systems, or giving and receiving feedback. Basically, anything I offer to companies that isn't bespoke work, this list hears about first and pays the least for.
