I'm finding myself increasingly uncomfortable with the exploitive nature of charging lots of $$$ for courses when so much of how I learned to do this work was free.

I've decided to refocus on making free resources.

You can (100% optionally) support that work here: https://members.gomakethings.com

Support my free web developer resources. You'll also get some awesome perks, including access to my private Discord community and my personal collection of courses, guides, and code snippets.

So in the State of JS survey when I answered that I was a woman, I was asked to share this link to invite more women, in the hope of a snowball effect:

It's a good point. I nearly didn't participate as the JS ecosystem drives me kind of nuts right now, but if I don't contribute to the data, it will continue to drive me nuts and I'll also remain unrepresented...

Great article, with a great question, by @mrtrimble https://ryantrimble.com/blog/the-internet-according-to-me/

I think it's we that we get what we celebrate. We need to celebrate small things more. Niche things. Quirky things. Things we love.

The other side of that coin is we need to stop celebrating numbers. They had the most views, the most followers, the most profit, the biggest launch. Numbers are just tools for comparison. They dont mean anything to us and our interactions with each other.
