Join Me On a Career Journey
I haven't posted in a while because I've been working on The Thunder Island Navigator, a newsletter about the software engineering field and job market to help aspiring (and seasoned) developers navigate the current market.
I've built the newsletter using Beehiiv, which has lots of canned no-code tools to build a simple web page for subscribers and potential subscribers. For registering and managing the domain, I used Namecheap, which was a really smooth experience overall.
As of right now, I'm aiming to post a new article every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I may have some special edition articles published on other days, depending on my work schedule.
Why?
My motivation for building the newsletter is twofold. First, it is meant to both to help others navigate the software engineering market and educate people on the field as a whole. Second, I hope to gain some exposure to my own projects and network with other developers to learn and grow.
How Can You Help?
I'm looking to do interviews with developers who want to talk about their job search, career journey, or the cool personal software projects they work on.
I'm also looking forward to hearing comments or stories from developers who are currently looking for jobs and want to voice the challenges and trends of the market they've encountered in their search so far.
If you want to reach out to chat, please feel free to send me a message here or by email. It would be great to hear from everyone.
It would be greatly appreciated if you could visit the site, add your email, and click Subscribe!

Code on,
Matt
