Thank you all for the kind comments! The Rails community has always been supportive to me. Even criticisms were done in a constructive manner. I will go into detail on why I stopped RailsCasts in part 3, but I will say it wasn’t because of the community. You all have been awesome.
Everything I am and every single penny I've earned can be attributed back to you or M. Hartl. I'm so happy I stumbled into rails 10 years ago.
Most of the early episodes were precisely those - how to do x?. I ended up purchasing the Pro version for the full team.
Around 2013, I somehow had a feeling it wouldnt last long. High end of the devs cant be living on meager income for a long time, unless they have no family.

A lot of people I've known in this space have run into the problem where making content became their job and it meant they weren't doing the "real work" that created fuel for creating the content. That is, the best content came from talking about the challenges and techniques learnt in their "day job" but now their day job was running a screencast/tutorial business.
I always wonder how the Dilbert author keeps up with office memes given he’s not really in corporate America for quite some time

In the late 2000s and early 2010s, I was working as a C# developer in a big, old, traditional enterprise environment. I had burned out and I was falling out of love with programming. A friend introduced me to Ruby and I became excited again. Railscasts helped me immensely in being able to very quickly build things. This motivated me to continue and before long I was able to change jobs and start using Ruby and Rails…
The intangibles on this effort are huge!
Thank you :)
