Show Notes
- Consistent Social Media Posts: Maintaining a steady flow of content to keep you updated on new episodes, insights, and community engagement. This strategy has several key benefits:
- Avoiding Perfection Paralysis: By focusing on regular posting rather than making every post perfect, we’ve been able to stay consistent and visible.
- Increasing Visibility: More posts mean more opportunities for people to discover the podcast and the brand.
- Learning Through Data: Each post provides valuable insights into engagement and other social media mechanics, helping us refine our approach over time.
- Learning New Concepts: Expanding our skillsets with exciting tools and technologies like Svelte and Webflow, while also improving our editing techniques and mastering social media skills. Additionally:
- Increasing Productivity: By implementing better time management practices and leveraging AI tools, we’ve been able to streamline workflows and get more done in less time.
- Custom Solutions for Efficiency: Coding up snippets and plugins—whether through no-code tools or traditional programming—has made repetitive coding tasks faster and more efficient.

- Related Trends:
- The COVID Hiring Spree (2020-2022): The boom in hiring during the pandemic years contributed to a surge in interest and activity within the tech industry. This was reflected in our growing audience and engagement during those years.
- Post-Pandemic Layoffs (2023-2024): As the tech industry faced a wave of layoffs, we observed a decline in downloads and engagement. These shifts highlight the broader impact of industry trends on independent creators like us.
- Looking towards 2025:some text
- Large stretch goals (unattainable?) - Setting goals based on needs (ie 100 blog posts by May) probably unattainable, but not taking it easy on ourselves by saying “well let’s do 5”
