It seems like Hacker News now has an algorithm that reads my web searches.
Lately, I’ve been reflecting on this. I’ve worked in several interesting sectors and developed amazing projects, but I haven’t documented anything. And in today’s job market, having a portfolio is almost essential.
I’m not a prodigy programmer, but in the industrial sector, programming is a key skill. This post motivates me to start structuring and sharing my work because it perfectly aligns with the idea that if you complete a project but don’t share it, it’s as if it never existed.
Nowadays, showcasing your work has become essential, not just for the community, but also for recruiters looking for talent.
I tried to sell original products from companies like Adobe, Microsoft, Autodesk, ESET, McAfee, and others, establishing partnerships with each of them. I soon realized there was an opportunity to sell products at much lower prices than the market. I did it, but I discovered that people weren’t attracted to low prices. They seem to feel more secure with higher prices, as if expensive items are associated with higher quality, and cheap items are seen as suspicious.
In the end, I decided to abandon that business model and focus solely on businesses. However, now I’m considering the possibility of revisiting that idea, but in the form of a blog, monetizing through Bitcoin payments. Currently, I am fully focused on automation, so the idea would lean more towards a blog/e-commerce approach.
In my original proposal, I didn’t offer subscription-based products like Office 365, but I did offer antivirus software, which has always been subscription-based.
