DeveloPassion's Newsletter #111 - Passion

Hello everyone! I'm Sébastien Dubois, your host. You're receiving this email because you signed up for DeveloPassion's Newsletter. Thank you for being here with me ✨
Welcome to the 111th edition
Another week, another newsletter! I hope that you all had a great one 🤩
This week I'm a bit late with the newsletter because I was participating in another carnival. This time it was a much smaller one, in a tiny village. It was drastically different, but felt much cooler to me. It was easier to really be "part of it", and appreciate the folklore. I didn't sleep much either and ended up sick yesterday, so I'm not at my best right now.

Alright, let's gooooo 🚀
The lab 🧪
While I didn't have time to make new experiments, I did find time to publish a new article. I was inspired by a small essay I read, and wanted to share some ideas about why focusing on learning things that don't change is often a better time investment. I was glad to see it trend on Hacker News a day or two after its publication. As usual, the effect was immediate:

My latest experiment, the IT Concepts Wall is a success. I've only sold 5 copies so far (~$45), but I'm convinced that many more will follow as I continue expanding the wall with new resources and as I start marketing efforts.
The sales for the Obsidian Starter Kit and PKM Library continued as usual, yielding ~$750 in the last 30 days.
On other news, I got one more paid subscriber this week, which is always an amazing feeling. MRR feels special compared to one-time sales, as it means that people enjoy my content and trust me enough to contribute and help me keep going. ❤️

Quotes of the week
- Clarity and Consistency are the twin engines of progress. The clearer the path & the more consistent the work, the better will be the outcome!
- Don’t fear losing. Winning never comes easy, is rarely predictable, and never follows a straight line. Setbacks always happen. Setbacks should be converted into passionate feel and belief
