I saw that HN post, it is a very impressive piece of work btw.
It also seems like a good fit for the HN / entrepreneur space. Was this intentional? IE did you plan it this way before starting the guide, or was it a marketing plan you figured out after it was already done?
- julianshapiro 10y agoThank you! I chose the subject independent of the audience — despite knowing how to distribute to the tech audience. I can't write something I'm not passionate about or don't want to learn myself. But I was fortunate that this topic appeals to many in the tech space — or at least a scientific approach to this topic does. I am an engineer myself, so I'm naturally writing for a likeminded audience. Ultimately, almost anything can hit the front page of HN. This is a smart, considerate, and curious crowd. Good content tends to make its way to the top regardless of the niche/market.
