Hey maker, this is for you

There is this pedigree of person out there that believes in making cool shit.

They love to put together things that were not connected before, serve the public, solve problems at scale.

You can find many of them on forums and communities on the internet.

I started my maker journey when I was a teenager learning how to code. I wanted to make games, like many of us millennials dreamed of back then.

I did make a couple cool projects that I shared at forums before social media. Then I fell off, went where demand was, followed the money.

But the desire for making things returned. In a moment of my life that I close a 10 years cycle working on a startup that got acquired and became an unicorn, I looked back to the kid I used to be, and found a path forward.

This publication is for the makers out there

The ones in the fence, and the ones in the trenches.

This is my personal story, as I walk the path.

I hope this inspires you to start, or to keep it going.

Because by doing this, I never felt so proud, and alive.
