It is with great excitement and trepidation that I’m finally posting my first Show HN!<p>Though this short book is meant for a lay-consumer audience, it was written with the goal of being able to withstand the general scrutiny of the Hacker News community, which I cite in the references for any readers who are upset at the suggestion that they might not actually be all that technically inclined.<p>Though a creative type with uncommercial tendencies, I still have a drive to succeed, and so I come to HN to hear about all the independent hustling, side projects, and tinkering going on, because I appreciate the spirit of it, even when I only understand so much of what is being talked about.<p>Anyway, it took me 25 years as a writer to come up with a business plan, and here at the 8th title from the resulting small press, I’m finally ready to share it with HN, where I’ve been lurking for 11 years. I hope you enjoy it, or at least don’t find yourself wincing too much, cheers!
