    Where do you find the time to learn in public?

    I don't know about. you, but I am busy enough where I constantly forget to do the "public" part because I'm so busy executing.

    Do you try to post something daily? Or have a pattern you follow so you remember to share something?

    I feel like daily is a bit much but I also wonder if it "counts" if I don't post absolutely everything with full transparency πŸ˜…

    Thoughts on using Foam + VS Code to build a second brain

    Wanted to share my experience trying a new notetaking setup. In short, I was tired of all the anxiety around organizing everything I write down. Finding the perfect folder / page / service / tag for a note was enough of a blocker to avoid writing anything at all!

    Still working out the kinks, but the Foam project for VS Code really ramped up my notetaking habits. It's also easily host-able as a Jekyll or 11ty site, if you want to learn in public (TM) 😁

    Wrote a longer-form post over here. Curious what solutions work for y'all!

    Freelancing for developers

    Hi all! I made a curated list of the best resources and people to follow to get started with freelancing, specifically for developers.

    I've spent the last few months diving deep into freelancing by reading/watching lots of books, articles, & videos. Some were good and some weren't very good, so I wanted to handpick a few so any developer can get started with the best resources and become a great freelancer.

    Check it out if you're interested, would love any feedback/suggestions.

    cc: ο»Ώ Monica Lent ο»Ώ, thank you for the domain name idea, took inspiration from blogging for devs πŸ˜…

    (Meta) What is a Lindy Library?

    Three fundamental truths:

    - The expiry date of content varies wildly from seconds to centuries.
    - Short-lived content is easier to make, therefore more easily available, than long-lived content.
    - Our useful knowledge is determined by the sum total of *still relevant* content we remember. To a large approximation our knowledge only compounds by the proportion of long-lived content we remember.

    The Lindy Effect observes that things that have been around for a while tend to live longer than things that haven't. A Lindy Library is an annex of content that has stood the test of time (say, more than 3 years old and still extremely relevant).

    - Social media biases us towards consuming extremely new content that becomes irrelevant the next day.
    - A Lindy Library corrects this bias by helping us spend our time on things we are likely to remember and use, thus compounding our knowledge from reading.
    - By sharing our Lindy Library we extend this benefit to our friends.

    You are welcome to submit technical and nontechnical content that meets this high bar, as long as it relates to developers and developer careers. However swyx may remove submissions at his discretion since curation is extremely important to the value of this effort.

    More Lindy Libraries here:

    - Leadership Library for Engineers
    - Essays on Programming I think about a lot
    - Timeless Web Dev Articles
    - LindyLibrary.org
    - Distributed Systems Reading List, Muratbuffalo's foundational distsys papersΒ s
    - Awesome CTO repo

    Project Ideas to Build

    People can learn in public by building things, but often need ideas for what to build. So here are a list of good projects to pursue:

    - devchallenges.io/
    - javascript30.com/
    - /r/reactjs Project IdeasΒ  (i used to curate)
    - Make React Apps ( Chris on Code 's paid course)
    - Build Your Own X repo
    - Max Rozen's open source React app list

    anything else?
