Yo Andrew! You were really pushing social media on here and I definitely see the importance. For someone like me who's still pretty new, what do you recommend posting on social media? People say to document what you're learning but even on my personal accounts I never post anything until I think its "post worthy"

Btw I like your Saiyan Logo

Thanks you are the only person to notice that my Logo is inspired by Dragonball Z I think 😁 If you want to grow your following then you need to be authentic and share what you are doing in your life with others. There are levels to this though and it is something I am learning about too. Some people like to share a lot of their private life which I guess can be good in the right context because it builds connections.

Anyway I recommend that you join 100 days of code if you have not done so already and then just tweet daily on twitter about what you are working on. This will build your following very quickly. Post the projects you are doing, the courses you are learning, the mistakes you have made and learned from etc... Just everything programming. The quality does not need to be 100% perfect to start with as its a journey that will get better.

This is my problem. I tell myself I'll wait till I'm 100% happy with it and it never sees the light of day lmao. I guess I don't really have a choice but to try 100 days of code again.
Thanks!
