Content creation is a fascinating thing. The creators I respect most are those who continuously make the things they love. Starting out, 99% of creators do this (myself included), but as creators grow, it can be hard to hold onto this. As my platforms have grown, I’ve felt increasing pressure to create what others love rather than what I love. To be clear, I’m writing this article as a reminder to myself as much as it is a reminder for you: it’s crucial to resist the urge to conform to what others want you to do.
Loved the reminder as we grow to keep creating things we love. Don’t just do things because you think other people expect it.
I’ve struggled with this as my own audience grew, especially since I’ve changed from engineer to engineering manager and wondered if people would still follow me if I wrote about that.

Great reminder and thanks for sharing, Kevin!
