If success is posting stupid click bait questions on twitter, then yes, I refuse to do that. I’m not a clown or an entertainer. I share my journey and provide value to people. The people who are drawn to click bait content, are not the peop

Not to be offensive, but you sound like the guy who I don’t want to be. Sitting there, figuring out the perfect number of posts to share at the perfect time. I don’t want to do that. I post a lot. On all platforms. But I don’t want to play

Thanks for the tips on posting. I do offer multiple services, including coaching/consulting and my book. I’m also working on. SaaS that is in progress.

I’m working on a different project, this time with #buildinpublic on twitter/mastodon. I’m also working on getting some consulting/freelance. And sadly, and with big regret, I started to look for a job.

I’m very happy for Tony, it’s a great achievement indeed. Having said that, as an aspiring solopreneur myself, this article misses a very big part. Engineers like to talk about how they build products, but we rarely talk about how to market

Thanks for sharing. It is helpful. I’m in the process of getting an income, but I’m working or becoming self employed, rather than an employee. I’m just wondering whether that can help me in anyway get a visa.

This I’m aware of. I wonder what options other than tourist, company sponsored, and student I have in order to be able to legally stay in the country more than 90 days.

I’m working on a newsletter platform that is not just another social network. You own the content, I care about distribution.

Very interesting blog Paul! Thanks for sharing! One question: do you feel your organic traffic is hurt due to the fact your blog topic is too wide?

The thing with writing code, is that often time, engineers are moving away from working with other engineers. The more scope you get at your work, the more you work with non coding people: an architect that might not code in your language,

Hey! Author here. What type of posts help you learn meaningful things? I try to improve my writing all the time, and would love to experiment with other formats, that might benefit more people.

Interesting point! I would take it further and say that it’s not about reading, but about being able to find the needed information. I won’t read the entire git book, if I only want to create a new branch. I should be able to find it.

Hey, author here. I get your point. The internet is filled with pseudo-gurus that try to sell you stuff by writing shit-posts. I’ve been writing for over 10 years. Many posts were scrapped and thrown away. I’m an autodidact, so I learned fr

Thank you very much, I appreciate it. I usually run my articles through proofreading, but I’m in a process of switching to a different text editor, and didn’t setup proofreading yet. It’s just an excuse though, and I’ll try to be more mindf

Author here. Would you be able to provide constructive criticism of what you didn’t like, so I could improve on it next time?

In one company, they used to give us extra per each day of on-call. We also had a mobile hot spot that got rotated between on-call engineers. This was nice, and considerate. My last workplace didn’t give special compensation.

Feedback is subjective in every field you take. I’ve got a lot of “NITs” in my code reviews, which essentially are - subjective feedback. I do see where you are coming from regarding getting feedback. I’m pretty sure there are places, like

The problem with school, or college, is that they tell you, you need to write. They don’t explain to you why you need to write, and what are the benefits of writing. That’s why most design reviews are very painful to read, and understand. T
