Códú is Irish for coding hence the naming, I dropped one of the accents because I know people have a hard time with one. 😂

Codú is my businesses name which is basically just me (for now) and I will hopefully grow it.

The Codú Community comes from a MeetUp I run because honestly, I think YouTube and these MeetUps are only as good as the community we can foster. I'm also hoping to have a lot more guests and things soon so would definitely not leave it in a position of the "Niall Maher" show.

So long story short, Codú is my business and I also want to get the chance to let that grow even if it at some point is without me.

I don't know if that's made things more or less confusing. 🤔

It makes total sense. Thank you for a thorough reply!

I'm having similar thoughts regarding DeveloperHabits and have been wondering how and what to focus on, which one to brand more.

But as a person, there's only one of you and sometimes you may want to jump to other areas(eg you with Javascript and product management). Your brand, on the other hand, can later grow without you, while staying true to its initial theme.

Exactly, I'm hoping I can boost Codú and any other companies I'm working with personally as well as have them prop me up a little too. 😁
