Sorry to hear you're going through this. I went through something similar and it wasn't fun. As much as you have shareholder agreements etc. none of that matters too much if the business fails and so it's basically about what

Here's what worked for me: Imagine there are 1,000 doors and you pick 1. All other doors except 1 are opened and you're given the offer: keep the door you picked, or pick this other door. What are the chances you picked the right

I've been programming for 20 years and yet I have no idea what this does. Can someone ELI5?

You're right in theory - you can't write dozens of books about exactly the same topic, but I feel that scarcity mindset may miss the broader trend that programming isn't slowing down. We're sort of the inverse of Web Dev

Right. This is why you partner with someone like me - because we already have an audience, a process, and some capital+labor we can use to help produce & promote your book/course.

I've started to collaborate with other folks to sort of semi-self-publish. Meaning, I have structure, a process, and an audience and I've been working with other folks who want to teach, but don't have an audience yet. So I m

(a) It takes me about 20 hours of work - and 1 week calendar time - to finish a chapter. A typical book is ~10 chapters. (b) Hard to say. Some weaknesses (wrong topic) are unrecoverable. Blogging well is way more work than, say, tacking on

There is a huge amount of interest in learning how to become a sr. engineer. Go check out the work of swyx (also in this thread [1]). I believe he said he made $25k+ from his book. He is inspiring, articulate, prolific, and all-around amazi

Email fatigue comes from self-serving emails. When you get value from an email, it isn't a burden. Context: We have 100k folks on our list, and our typical open rate is 25%. Almost all are web developers. I think the key thing required

This is a good point. There probably is a market for a Pihole book.

People want to learn what you do at work. Real projects, real code, with usable output. Blog posts tend to teach in an idealized, shallow way - because it's easier to write about and easier to teach. If you, instead, put in the work to

These numbers are possible and repeatable. I've made over $100k on software books at least 7 separate times [1]. If you're going to try to do this, the key idea is to build an audience e.g. an email list. You need to budget 50% of

Even though a lot of engineers want to raise VC (or work for companies that have) the incentives are weird and it can influence your work/job in ways you might not expect. When you take VC, you're given millions of dollars to buil
