I Keep Losing My Best Employees

And I know I’m the reason, but I refuse to change. — The same story has been unfolding since late 2010: my most promising hires all move on within 3-5 years, sometimes sooner. Just this month my best engineer quit on me, although not entirely unexpected. After having pulled my ass out of a few fires over the past 18 months, she’s…

My Plan To Earn An Extra $100,000 Per Year

It’s not as crazy as it sounds. — I’m clearly insane. Right? Maybe. But I’d rather set seemingly insane goals for myself as opposed to ones that I know I can knock out. Goals you know you can accomplish aren’t goals, they're just tasks, and while tasks get the job done they don’t force growth. Go big or go home. Set insane…

Why $50,000 a Month Should Be Your Revenue Goal

Aim small, miss small. — Ever since I was a young boy, I’ve loved earning my own money. Paper route, pizza delivery, lawn mowing, etc. My goals were simple, make enough money to buy the crap I wanted that my parents (rightfully so) wouldn’t waste their money on. As I grew older, I had similar…

Writer’s Block Buster

A foolproof way to capture the power of the Universe — It doesn’t matter if you’re a new writer or have been at this for a while; Sooner or later, you’ll hit a spell where you don’t have a damn thing to say. Here’s how to fix it. Back in the day. I used to rely entirely on conscious thought to develop a backlog of…

“Learn to Get On the Bubble” Isn’t Nearly as Sexy as “Learn to Code”

But it’s a critical skill for software developers. — Climbing onto The Bubble is like meditation: the second you stop to think “Am I doing it right?” you’re no longer doing it. Have you ever been so absorbed with what you’re working on that you lost track of time and distractions? …

I’m Back

And it’s about damn time. — Funny how you can dive in head first, get accustomed to the environment, discover an amazing community, and think you’ve finally landed somewhere worth staying. But when you wake up in the morning nothing looks the same. Was it just a dream? No, it wasn’t. We were all here, grinding every day. Some published daily…

Future-Proofing Your Career: Strategies for Engineers in the Age of AI

“Designed in California” was an early warning. — Are you worried about job security in the era of AI? I spend an hour a day doomscrolling Twitter, and lately, my feed is consumed with: ChatGPT is going to replace us all! We’re doomed. Or are we? Either way, it got me thinking about jobs, specifically systems and software engineering jobs, that can’t be replaced by AI. Future Proof? Future-proofing your career…

Stop Wasting Your Time Learning To Code

Your time is better spent learning how to ask questions and describe desired outcomes. — Remember back in 2002 when we were able to charge $400k for a website that hit a database? Those were some amazing times, and I’m glad I put that money away. But the game changed right? Companies found out they could hire developers from India, Pakistan, and Russia and pay…

Where Would You Be Today if You Started Your Email List a Year Ago?

Ramp up now so you can hit 2023 like a ton of bricks. — Things are expensive and it’s not getting better anytime soon. Asking your boss for a raise isn’t going to change things. Not buying coffee? Ha, not a chance. Making more money is your best option. Ramp it up now to get ready for 2023. 2023 is the year to take…

Is Your Job Going Extinct?

Nah. My job can’t be automated, right? Right… — It’s a dreary winter night in London. You’re making your rounds with torch and tub of oil in hand. Cold and wet, but comfortable in the fact that The People need you. How else will they navigate the dark streets and find their way home? 8 more years and you…
