I’ve always wanted to publicly share interesting topics on tech and different things I learn online but never found the consistency and motivation. What better way to start off 2024 and challenging myself with a group of new immigrants to Canada looking to break into the tech industry!
So this is the my message to them:
Finding a tech job in a new country is hard especially in the current economy. You can send 100s of resumes and hope for the best. What do you do if you’re still not getting interviews?
I invite you to try something different and something fun.
In this blog post Learn In Public, the author (a guy that successfully transitioned into tech at 30 years old and have worked for Amazon/Silicon Valley companies) talked about developing “a habit of creating learning exhaust”
What a better way to start 2024 by challenging yourself?
LIP30 (Learn In Public 30 Day Challenge)
What is LIP30?
It’s a commitment to learn something every day AND more importantly to share publicly what you learn every day for 30 days in a row. Big or small, you’ll be making meaningful progress toward your goals — every single day.
What content should I create?
Given this is a 30 day challenge, try to be realistic. Most likely it’s going to be small blog post or tweet. The goal is to get started and not producing the most complete React for Beginners Course Check this follow up post https://www.swyx.io/puwtpd to find ideas
What should I expect?
We’ll keep each other motivated and keep track of your progress. You’ll post to the IG group whenever your “content” is published.
When does it start?
It starts on 2 Jan and ends on 31 Jan (30 days total)
How do I participate?
Use this link to join the IG group https://ig.me/j/AbbyLbofTDKqHIr3/
Can I join after 2 Jan?
Yes, just join the IG group and start learning in public and publishing what you learned!
What if I cannot commit to all 30 days?
You are the sole person responsible for your own improvements. Do whatever you can but keep trying despite the setbacks that you might face 💪🏼
Let’s get better in 2024!
