Simple but no simpler! Thanks for sharing :) (already added your Good Reads articles to my pocket list....)

Thanks for sharing! dev.to and hashnode seem very nice indeed for work-related topics that I have on my mind to write about

thanks!

Thanks for your input :) I would like to go simple but not straightforward 100% plain text. I'd like room for experimentation. Add images, a colour palette, search functionality,...

Even though I like Mataroa's philosophy, it seems waaay too minimalist for me. I didn't know that was possible!

I actually browsed through the showcase gallery and liked what can be accomplished with it. I care mostly about the writing but I also want to be able to add some images and get a little creative - I want -my- site to show off some of my personality, ultimately - and Lume seems to accomplish that. Will be exploring it. Thanks!

I admit I was not at all aware of the many static site generatores there are... What a brave new world HN here introduced me too! I have a lot of studying to do. Thanks :)

I'm very into blogging, but the blogs I had in the past were all hosted on blogging platforms like blogspot and WordPress. I would like to switch to something more... Indie.I wonder - - I follow and envy a lot of personal websites shouted out here on HN. They generally have a nice, simple and clean interface. How can I create something like that? Whichs tools do you use?I have some background...

But isn't the market demanding? At least if I want to have a nice job, with a nice pay... I feel I must raise the ceiling today if I don't want to be in a dead end by the time I reach the 30s (which is just in 2 years).

Thanks for your perspective, sk3nnyy. That newsletter of yours (coderfit) really is some public service. I will definitely be seeing into the ebook.

I guess I want to feel I know a variety of things (I was going to write 'shirt', lol) that makes me a good developer (heck, I don't even consider myself a developer - what IS a developer, anyway?!). Right now I don't think I'm good at my job. I don't think I'm leveraging technology. Every profile I look into linkedin that is into this industry (information visualization) is so skillfull in a variety of technologies and topics, and I only have "Qlik Sense" to show, you know. No favorite frameworks (because I don't apply one), no github profile to show, no parallel projects,... I think I wouldn't stand a chance competing against all this people in the market if I were to change jobs.

I have a stable job, with demand for it - projects are coming, there is work to do and value to add, but I don't think I'm developing as I should.

In the end, yes, I want more money and more freedom to do whatever I please at my own pace. I have enrolled in a Data Analyst with Python course (in dataquest) that will put me through a variety of technologies and challenges, and I'm hoping I will reach some clarity on the path I'm following on my current job. Don't know if this makes sense.

Hi,I'm a regular reader of the hacker newsletter and I've been wanting to pose a question to all of you (in the form of a vent) but I haven't gathered myself to do it (until today) because, honestly, I feel embarassed for what I have to show and tell, curriculum speaking, in comparison to what I see here.I'm a 28 yo working in the Information Visualization industry (or, as LinkedIn like to call...
