Why it Works

Why I am confident

You might observe that I write more confidently here than anywhere else in the course. This confidence is based on two things:

• Empirical foundation
• Theoretical foundation

Empirical foundation

I have studied the careers of dozens of successful developers and have personally heard from hundreds of others since I wrote the original “Learn in Public” essay.

Theoretical foundation

Everything here is reinforced by well-understood dynamics in human psychology and marketing.
