Where to publish tech content? ✍️
1️⃣ Own your core: A self-hosted blog gives you control. Platforms change; your domain stays.
2️⃣ Distribute: Use Dev.to, LinkedIn, and Substack to reach different audiences.
Control the source, spread the message. 🚀
Should you repeat a talk you’ve already given? Yes.
A presentation only becomes truly great after the 3rd or 4th time. Each new audience helps you sharpen your storytelling and refine your examples.
Don’t just present once. Connect, adapt, and repurpose.
Excited to announce that I’ll be joining the new FIAP + MIT program, to learn applied AI.
This partnership is a huge win for tech education in Brazil. Thank you, FIAP, for leading the way and bringing world-class innovation to us.
