I am wondering if I should still keep applying to Clojurists Together to fund more Practicalli content? Based on some of the feedback, it would seem my content isn't particularly relevant. E.g "Documentation and tooling are still abysmal across the board." https://www.clojuriststogether.org/news/call-for-proposals.-november-2023-member-survey/ It could be that very few people know about the Practicalli content, in which case more awareness would be required rather than more content. I may only focus on documenting my own experiences with Clojure and more general software engineering aspects, as I still get some support for work from Congitect/Nubank and a few GitHub Sponsors. I rarely get feedback on the Practicalli work, so it's hard to guage how useful it is beyond basic website analytics. If you have any views, please do share (constructively please).
@U05254DQM I think your content is great! Maybe it is, like you have guessed, an awareness problem.
You could say your materials are powered by AI... seems to be working for everyone else these days 😛 But in all seriousness, I would fear for the community that fails to prioritize education, and, well doesn't your work fall under documentation, as well as beginner adoption?
@U8LB00QMD I know you are joking about the Powered by AI thing... but I was actually going to highlight the opposite 🙂 So its clearer the Practicalli work was extracted from the day to day work I've done commercially with Clojure. Over the last year I've tried to position the work as production grade, especially with the recent Practicalli Project Tempates. I think I'll continue this focus and move away from some of the beginners aspect as there seems a gluttony of this level available.
