I didn't realize how much staying quiet was costing me until I hit send on one terrifying email.
I used to think if I just built a good enough product, the world would magically notice. I'm an introverted kid building Aceit in my bedroom, I convinced myself my code would speak for itself. No self-promotion needed.
Then, I forced myself to pitch the Tampa Bay Times.
Within days, I went from hiding behind my screen to preparing for an interview that puts my story in front of over 1,000,000 readers.
The biggest lesson I've learned so far:
If you want to make a difference, you have to put yourself in uncomfortable positions.
Build great things, but don't forget to talk about them.

@lunastoic @Strawwww_berry Yep, I feel like the people who showcase it actually have nothing to show, they're just trying to build an audience to profit off of.
