are we allowed to post links? Would be good if people can click a link that directly brings them to the Amazon page of your book.

I published this article, with an interesting meta lessoon:

Frankly the article was not hard to write. Nothing groundbreaking. And by using the interview format I delegated half of the work to someone else :)

.... and yet that's my most successfull article so far!

We are so often obsessed with impressing our peers - that's what developer conferences are all about - that we forget that there is a shitload of new developers in this industry, plus a shitload lot of developers switching to new things

=> Lowering the bareers to entry is at least as important as trying to expand the sum of all IT knowledge

I pushed the beta version of my black hole X-ray spectral model, one of the last big hurdles to my thesis work. Also, was able to put out a post on Dev on Monday night, the second consecutive week.

I'm trying to get in the habit of posting regularly even though I'm busy finishing up my PhD work and preparing for my SDE position at AWS, so I don't have a lot of free time. I'm proud that I'm able to do it two weeks in a row and I'm going to go for a third.

I finally made my first open source announcement on Dev, HN, Reddit, and Twitter [1]

I had it ready to announce for a couple weeks but wasn't sure of the best way to approach each channel.

My responses were mixed: Good on Dev and HN, poor on Reddit and Twitter.

Along with generally good feedback on the project's main premise, I've had a few issues submitted, a PR contributed, and an official Brew maintainer helping me get the Brew formula approved.

I consider the launch a success and look forward to hearing how the tool is doing in the wild.

[1]Note: I have several oss projects across several github accounts, but I never did make launch post for one until this week.

2 wins.

  1. I released another App on the App Store.
  2. A publication on Medium wanted an article of mine to be published there. Here's the link to the Medium post. It is behind the Medium paywall, so if you're a member I'd appreciate a read through there, but if you aren't a member, here is the Dev link for free.
