Over lunch, I listen
[2021-11-30 01:32:02 PM] : Over lunch, I listened to this podcast about Josh Comeau's launch for his"CSS for JavaScript Developers" course, and it's really inspiring.
Josh mentions he wrote over 150 e-bombs, spent over a year steadily building his audience, and has a really awesome email newsletter (which I'm subscribed to).
Sounds exactly like the 30x500 method :slightly_smiling_face: I'm surprised he didn't take this course, but he's a great 30x500 role model to follow nonetheless

He did phenomenally well with that course and it's definitely useful to look at the bricks he stacked to get there! I'm also impressed by his pitch for the course.

This first heading strikes me as an extremely efficient example of pain and dream...
"CSS can be fun. I promise"
I like that it's more "show" then tell. I definitely fall into the trap of spelling out the pain sometimes, you know with sentences like "it's really annoying when ..." or "you know that feeling, when you..."
I love the fact that "CSS can be fun" does a lot of that work by simply acknowledging, implicitly, the pain that a lot of developers feel towards CSS.
