  • Recap: January 2024 Jan had our first "growth spurt" from 25th Dec 2023 to 13th Feb 2024. Good: initial traction, community interest, capturing next wave of contributors Bad: good but not great compared to market leaders (awareness, interest), very average retention (<10%) In business, things tend to move in step functions (ie. new feature, getting into newscycle etc). The law of competition also means that if we stand still, we'll lose our current users to better products. A month and a half ago, we were on the outside looking in. Today, we're firmly in the arena, and I'm excited to use our existing momentum to build Jan into a successful business.

  • This is a learning path geared towards getting: Practical, job-applicable skillsets that can put food on the table In as little time as possible (i.e. nights/weekends) Broad but shallow "tree of knowledge" (i.e. your responsibility to go deep) Practical skills and learn-by-building are prioritized You will be forced to research & learn theory along the way
