Managed to do some quality work today.

Almost finished the newsletter monitoring daemon. Still a lot of work, but it’s starting to shape up into something workable. Will continue tomorrow.

Yesterday was low in terms of performance.

Today I have a different plan. Gonna hit the gym, and then focus on writing posts for the blogs.

Sometimes you need to focus on something different, in order to make progress.

What’s your plan today?

#buildinpublic #solopreneur

Not giving a fuck is the new flex...

There are days when you doubt yourself. When you think that you might not succeed.

Today is a day like this for me. I’m thinking maybe I should just go back to my old life, get a stable employment. It’s very important to acknowledge days like this, and live through them. They are nothing more than just a buzz in you head. Keep going.

One of the things I struggle with as a #solopreneur, is finding the balance between coding and “promoting” (i.e. writing blog posts, posting on social media, engagement).

Coding has an immediate reward, while promoting is a long term game. My monkey brain always prefer the immediate reward.

How do you cope with this?

Happy #FollowFriday!

My name is Dmitry, and I’m software engineer. About 3 months ago, I quit my job due to burnout, sold most of my possessions, and flew one way to Central America.

There, I work on my mental health, my body, and #solopreneur my way to a sustainable online business.

I share my journey on this platform, together with words of wisdom on #society, #philosophy, and #selfimprovement.

Feel free to join my journey!

Two days ago I made my first dollars online.

It brings me back 14 years ago, when I got my first programming job, and a real paycheck.

Thank you all for the support, I hope to make many more dollars from my craft and skills!

That’s the kind of notification I like to wake up to.

Thanks everyone for the support 🫶

But it’s also lonely. It’s hard. There is no structure, and nobody is going to tell you what, and how to do.

So yeah, it’s not always rainbows.

My book cover reveal!

For the past 7 years, I had the amazing opportunity to grow as a software engineer. All thanks for one simple habit—writing.

I truly believe that writing can take anyone’s career to the next level. And I’m excited to share my experience about technical writing.

Starting the #solopreneur life just to see what happens. If it works out, great. If it doesn't, great.

Not expecting to "change the world" or "shatter the market" in any way, but I hope to throw a handful of apps at the wall and see what sticks.

The key for me is going to be execution, execution, execution.

This might finally make me a morning person.
