Never travel without one in my backpack.
I can't believe I hit over 10k #YouTube channel views (actually 11,321 but who's counting? 😅)!
I intend to make a lot more content over this year. All #developer focused short form (5 minutes or less).
Give me a follow if you want to join the journey! 👇

That was quick! Thank you friends. Maybe next time I should be more ambitious and a bit less modest in goal setting? 😅
Friends, it's a modest goal, but I'd love to get to 100 subscribers on my #YouTube channel before the new year.
I am just *4* subscribers away from that goal.
Can you help me get there?

How many people follow up on that? Is that worth the ROI? 🤔
