I love this essay so much. So much that I tried to implement all of the demos in JavaScript, which you can try in interactive form here: https://www.newline.co/choc/

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 bu…

This is amazing. As a programmer/lifter I love this idea and will try it out

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 othe…

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 do…

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 …

(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 unrecove…

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.…

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…

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 a…

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 audi…
