It’s always there. This urge, this pull, this string – always pulling me back to write more code and new code. And it’s never on what I know, it’s always on what I don’t know, new platforms, new topologies, new codebases, new languages. It’s never easy, it’s always a process in having to learn something new.

What are you afraid of? That you aren’t good enough? You don’t know what you’re talking about? You won’t be respected? You won’t be heard? You’ll be ignored?

I’ve been playing around with Facebook and Instagram Ads the last few weeks. When the ads are running, traction is high, Likes are coming in, maybe a few Followers. If you want another dopamine hit of Likes and Followers you can pay more for a larger reach and keep it going. But then what? How long to do you keep going? Until your wallet runs out? For a period of time? Until you’ve converted X new leads to customers? It’s called an Ad campaign but really it feels like a short-lived promotion aimed at getting the word out that you
