are we allowed to post links? Would be good if people can click a link that directly brings them to the Amazon page of your book.

I just tried to tap on it then read your post :)

Djordje Bajic • Dec 24 '19

I already created a blog post with a link to the amazon. :) There is no need for agressive marketing since i am not a full time writer. :D

I published this article, with an interesting meta lessoon:

Best ways to learn Kotlin: from scratch or from Java, with books or tutorials, online or in the IDE

Frankly the article was not hard to write. Nothing groundbreaking. And by using the interview format I delegated half of the work to someone else :)

.... and yet that's my most successfull article so far!

We are so often obsessed with impressing our peers - that's what developer conferences are all about - that we forget that there is a shitload of new developers in this industry, plus a shitload lot of developers switching to new things

=> Lowering the bareers to entry is at least as important as trying to expand the sum of all IT knowledge

finished negotiations and took a position of Frontend Team Lead for a new application

I pushed the beta version of my black hole X-ray spectral model, one of the last big hurdles to my thesis work. Also, was able to put out a post on Dev on Monday night, the second consecutive week.

I'm trying to get in the habit of posting regularly even though I'm busy finishing up my PhD work and preparing for my SDE position at AWS, so I don't have a lot of free time. I'm proud that I'm able to do it two weeks in a row and I'm going to go for a third.
