The activity goes up
[2023-04-09 05:02:46 AM] : The activity goes up and down here depending on when new students enter the course – at least that is the feeling I’ve got so far.
And weekends are usually also slow. And timezones are also an influence.

[2023-04-09 10:40:09 AM] : Not much right now. Was writing my morning page when I’ve seen your message.
My 30x500 course work is on break right now. I hope to restart this summer.
[2023-04-09 03:39:23 PM] : okay. who's your audience if you don't mind me asking?
[2023-04-09 03:39:33 PM] : and how far did you get with this work
[2023-04-10 01:52:04 AM] : My audience are (React) Software Developers last I was working on. But towards the end I was going a bit more general (meaning I ditched) the react part again.
I wrote quite some ebombs (https://www.vlearns.xyz) but my biggest hurdle was sharing my work – one of the classic traps I think.
[2023-04-10 02:01:27 AM] : The thing is I don’t find it interesting just talking about a single framework. But not having a single frameworks make my life a lot harder when writing ebombs.

[2023-04-11 03:40:08 PM] : this one speaks the truth
[2023-04-11 03:41:11 PM] : do you mean you don't think people will find react stuff interesting or that you're not having fun writing them?
[2023-04-12 01:18:47 AM] : It is more the second. And I don’t like being put into corner/framework. And I’m more interested in teaching the underlaying concepts of programming/beeing a software developer.
[2023-04-12 01:20:15 AM] : And thanks for the compliment. I took a while to find that style but I’m happy with it. You need an image (for sharing) but I hate these soulless placeholder images which never quite fit the post.
[2023-04-18 05:32:34 AM] : > I hate these soulless placeholder images which never quite fit the post.
my thought exactly!
[2023-04-18 05:33:32 AM] : > I’m more interested in teaching the underlaying concepts
i'm interested in teaching the very basics of programming. my curiosity is how to get from 0 to 100 in a few days. it's impossible, i know, but question is what is possible in that time?
[2023-04-18 05:34:16 AM] : anyway. i totally get your feelings. i actually bought this course years ago and didn't feel like i could commit due to not having an audience i both like and found online AND could serve for years to come.
[2023-04-18 05:34:40 AM] : so it took years, but now i do ahve an audience. and it just came to me pretty randomly while travelling (great way to find it!)
[2023-06-30 06:02:33 AM] : damnit i actually botched my instance trying to update ghost.. crap. actually switching to wordpress.
