I produce a regular audio podcast about things that interest me the most, like bootstrapping micro SaaS products, programming with open source tools like WordPress, and making friends and money online.
I always embed podcast episodes into my blog, so that I can give you show notes, charts, code, and other visual things. Sometimes I even have a corresponding episode on my YouTube channel, if video helps get something across better.
Love to hear from you with show comments, questions, or suggestions!
We are exploring what it means to be a creative solo-programmer / solo-founder, and how to harness the power of WordPress by developing our own custom plugins. Plugins can be stand-alone products, all the way to the core of a micro SaaS, WaaS, or even XaaS bootstrapped business. Along the way we will learn how to code in PHP, JavaScript, and leverage the cool functions and hooks and libraries that come with the WordPress framework. The potential for creating new experiences and value for users is limited only by our creativity. Hosted by Jamie Robe, solo-founder of PluggedIntoProgramming.com
Is the complexity of your project hurting you and your users? We all tend toward making our creations more and more complex, but we should all be asking if the complexity adds value to the user or not. The complexity of our creative processes can also add up until it paralyzes us. I was inspired to talk about this after listening to one of my favorite podcasts Copyblogger. Tim and Ethan cohost it mainly about writing and marketing ideas. This one was about overcoming fear as a writer. But it struck me that it can be the complexity that creates the block for so many of us. Programming code and writing thoughts are similar IMHO. So I am exploring this topic here and deciding to go simple.
