Five Changes I'd Like To Make On My Blog
To keep myself accountable, here’s a list of changes I’d like to make on my blog: #1. New About copy. I still have the one from the days I was looking for a full-time job as a coder. That’s not the case anymore. These days, I’m a digital writer with a part-time coding job. #2. More recent “Start Here.” The “Start Here,” on my About, dates back to my full-time coding days, with only tutorials. Google and AI have killed tutorials. And I’m not writing as many coding tutorials anymore. With metri...
Five Simple Blogging Rules for Consistency
This blog started as a coding notebook, but now it’s my small corner of the web. I’ve changed what a post is. It used to be tutorials. I spent time designing covers with Canva and picking images from Unsplash. I wanted it to look like a “real” blog. Those days, around 2022, I shared my posts on LinkedIn to boost traffic and get attention. But writing daily posts left no time for covers and images. To stay consistent, I simplified my approach and adopted some rules. I first shared them here and...
Writing Devices From Slow Horses, Season 5
TV shows are a good writing classes. These days, I binge-watched Slow Horses Season 5. Not that I’m a fan of spy shows. After watching one of the first episodes, I noticed how good episode endings it has. So I watched the rest of the season with my writer’s glasses on, here are some of the devices I noticed—No spoilers: Increasing tension in every episode. The enemy is using the same strategy the Brits used in them during the Cold War. Each episode follows one of the steps. Plot twist....
Sometimes You Just Need to Be A Collector
For my February book experiment, I wanted to open each chapter with a powerful quote. Stealing from Mastery by Robert Greene. But then I realized I didn’t have enough quotes. I needed at least ten. I didn’t want to Google or ChatGPT for quotes and get the same quotes every motivational post uses. It was too late to read or surf the web looking for quotes. That’s when I wish I had been a quote collector. I remember Austen Kleon, author of Steal Like an Artist and Show Your Work, who has a note...
Friday Links: AI, LinkedIn, and the missing CS semester
Hey, there. Here are 4 thought-provoking links I found this week. Plus my reflections after a week off social media. #1. AI makes code cheaper, but cheap code means not understanding what you’re building. “Use AI or stay behind” shouldn’t be the real mantra. It should be rely on AI and get left behind (4min). #2. College and bootcamps don’t teach the skills you need for real-world coding. That’s why I wrote Street-Smart Coding, by the way. This week, I found an updated version of The Missing...
