Listen "The backstory behind my first viral blog post"
Episode Synopsis
My "What they don't tell you about demand paging" blog post completely flopped when I posted it on twitter and hacker news.
It only reached the success it did because I then cold emailed Dan Luu and Bruce Dawson. Dan shared it to hacker news under his account (I never mentioned I posted it there already), and it took off from there (I believe because his account has must higher ranking than mine). Bruce was kind enough to find and then retweet my original tweet to his audience of 10k+ followers.
In addition, I talk about the sacrifices I made in order to produce that blog post and some takeaways from that.
