Сontent creation for developers w/ Scott Tolinski (Syntax.fm) & Adrian Hajdin (JavaScript Mastery)

Build things that align with your passions and interests - personal projects driven by genuine curiosity are the best way to learn and stay motivated

Content creation (videos, blogs, podcasts) helps solidify your understanding of concepts and improves your ability to communicate technical topics effectively

Teaching others when you’re just one step ahead can be more effective than expert-level instruction, as you better understand the beginner mindset

Personal branding and sharing your work publicly opens doors to opportunities - employers notice developers who demonstrate their skills through content

Stay consistent with content creation - even posting once a month shows dedication and ability to articulate technical concepts

Focus on building things you’re genuinely interested in rather than following trends - passion for the end goal drives better learning than focusing on specific tech

Understand the “why” behind technical decisions rather than just memorizing patterns - especially important when learning frameworks like React

Consider using native browser APIs where possible instead of defaulting to frameworks - modern browsers can handle many tasks efficiently

Conferences provide valuable networking opportunities and energy boost by connecting with like-minded developers

Combine teaching/content creation with your regular development work - share what you learn on the job to help others while reinforcing your own knowledge
