Aww, big hug back and so happy to hear this post resonates. It's easy to get lost in the business message, charts and growth numbers, so we must not forget why we're doing this in the first place. Hope to see more writing from you in 2024!

A very encouraging story. :) I needed to read that. Everyday I have scary thoughts and feeling that my writing is probably worthiness because there are so many other good writers and more senior engineers or leaders that are writing similar content.

Perhaps I am not going to have the boom in followers you had but at least it's encouraging to know that fear is normal in this case.

I would be interested in reading your advice on how to write good content and grow on Substack.

Thanks, and wish you all the best of luck Irina!

So proud of you.

Looking forward to learning and growing with you in 2024.
