The pithy answer is that honestly, the most likely outcome of posting work online is… nothing happens. It’s a lot of sustained effort over time to grow an audience, and the ‘time’ part is usually crucial here. Dropping 50 blog posts or a repo full of finished projects on day one very probably won’t have the same effect as posting those 50 things over the course of a year, because nobody knows you yet. Start publishing stuff, try to share it around, keep expectations super low, and try to enjoy the journey :) One concrete book rec is Amy Hoy’s Just Fucking Ship. I feel like it might resonate.
