[1] Create content when you have something to sell.
When you are learning, you should share your learnings but don’t say “5 things to do as a coder”, “10 things to beware of while you’re coding”, etc.

[10] Food in the house
If you want to have food, you wouldn’t go to vegas.
That would be a gamble.
