On October 9, I shared a personal milestone: more than ten million views across my personal social channels in thirty days. For me, it was a sign that consistency was working.
Publishing regularly has become a kind of masterclass. It asks for courage, helps me practise communication and teaches me to deal with criticism. Putting yourself out there also means accepting that not every response will be kind.
The rewarding part is the people: new friends, new connections and the personal growth that comes with those encounters.
I believe community matters even more as AI makes products easier to reproduce. At dua.com, we have spent seven years building relationships with a community. In that post, I reported more than 1.1 million registrations and many real love stories. Those years and relationships cannot be reduced to a set of features.
That is the work I want to keep doing: build a brand, build a community and keep learning as technology changes.
