I recently quit LinkedIn after reaching 2.5k followers

It became unbearable

More importantly, it did not have my audience of interest

Builders sit here and on Twitter

2 years ago today, I left my job to learn to code

2022: I learnt to code, built projects

2023: I applied for jobs, and interviewed, but didn't get hired

I haven't contributed anything monetary to my family and I feel ashamed to say so

With the dev hiring market still being in bad shape, my best bet is to:

-Build products in public, grab eyeballs, and maybe someone hires me for my dev skills

-If any of the products work, try to make money through it

Starting tomorrow, when people would take challenges such as NNN, or no shave nov.

I wish to just challenge myself to not give up, build and share ( write )

I plan to write a long-form article every day and then use it to create smaller digestible content for posting on

Reddit, Indie hackers, Twitter, Medium

I follow a guy on Twitter who has grown tremendously in the past few months and he says, "Lone wolves die on X"

I am looking for 2 more wolves like me who are hungry, wish to make money, believe in build-in-public or simply writing to grow and just get out of the situation they are in right now

Let me make this clear, I am not asking for us to work on some product together,

I plan to form a group where we share resources, we push each other

We help each other grow

Not necessary that you're a developer, you could be anyone, in the comments mention your age and if you would want to become a part and why

I will help you as much as I can, moreover, this is FREE, and if it does not seem to work after 2-3 weeks, we can simply quit, no harm for anyone.

There are 2 months left for this year to end, I am broke rn, and if there's one thing I know right now, it's that when this year ends, I won't be broken.

If interested - Age, why you would be interested

If not interested - Tell me what I can do right now, I am a developer working on a code boilerplate-based product and will also offer MVP services with post-build marketing and outreach direction

Good luck but if you’re gonna quit in 2-3 weeks of no “growth” you might as well quit now? Just look at the #buildinpublic hashtag on Twitter. People try to emulate the big ones and there’s essentially zero activity engagement.
