Show HN: The raw truth about self-publishing first technical book
I finally wrote about my experience of self-publishing a software architecture book. It took 850 hours, two mental breakdowns, and taught me a lot about what really happens when you write a tech book.
I wrote about everything:
- Why I picked self-publishing
- How I set the price
- What worked and what didn't
- Real numbers and time spent
- The whole process from start to finish
If you are thinking about writing a book, this might help you avoid some of my mistakes. Feel free to ask questions here, I will try to answer all.
