It might be not your fault, but it's still your problem and no one's coming to save you.

Journaling changed my life for the better. I want to share the gift I got with others by creating a journaling course. I need your help. Never before have I created a course. What blocked you from journaling? #journaling #buildinpublic #habits

Your portfolio doesn’t suck because you lack skills. It sucks because you lack story. Skills are table stakes. Story is what gets remembered. What problem did you solve? Who did you help? What changed because you built it? Make. It. Matter.

The developers getting hired aren’t the smartest. They’re the most obvious choices. Make it obvious: • Portfolio that works • Resume that’s clear • Story that matters • Value that’s proven Be undeniable.

“The market is oversaturated.” Translation: “I blend in with everyone else.” The market isn’t oversaturated with good developers. It’s oversaturated with invisible ones. Make yourself impossible to ignore.

Stop waiting for the “perfect” project to showcase. Pick your best existing app and improve it: • Fix every bug • Polish the UI • Add performance metrics • Write proper documentation • Deploy it live Execution > perfect idea.

You’re not getting ignored because you’re not good enough. You’re getting ignored because you’re not clear enough. Clarity > cleverness. Simple > sophisticated. Results > rhetoric.

Your Bio is broken if it says: “Passionate Android developer who loves clean code” Fix it. Specificity wins. Vague loses.

Your biggest competitor isn’t another developer. It’s the “do nothing” option. Companies would rather not hire than hire wrong. Show them why hiring you is right.

“I can’t find a job because I don’t have experience.” But you won’t show the experience you do have. Zero companies? → Show personal projects → Show open source work → Show freelance gigs → Show anything you’ve built Experience isn’t just employment.

Unpopular opinion: The “tough job market” is the best thing that happened to Android developers. Why? It filters out the lazy ones. While everyone’s complaining, you can stand out by doing basic things: • Having a real portfolio • Showing results • Being helpful online…

Nobody cares about your tech stack. They care about your impact stack: • Faster load times • Fewer crashes • Happy users • Business results • Problems solved Technology is the means. Impact is the end.

Your GitHub is not a portfolio. It’s a graveyard of unfinished projects. Here’s what actually gets you hired: • One polished app > 10 half-built ones • Clear README with results • Live demo links that work • Code comments that make sense Quality beats quantity

I used to be invisible in the Android dev market. My resume said "built login feature" like everyone else. Then I learned one simple trick that changed everything. Instead of listing what I built, I showed what I achieved: → "Cut app crashes by 60%" → "Improved load time…

Most developers hold themselves back by: 1. Believing hard work is enough. 2. Waiting for “the right time” to show off. 3. Letting imposter syndrome keep them quiet. 4. Using safe, boring language. 5. Hiding in a crowd of average.
