Metrics following the release of my e-book, "Building an Effective Dev Portfolio"

Hi folks!

Last week I released a free 70-page e-book about developer portfolios.

The idea for this book started months ago; I volunteered to review junior-dev portfolios on twitter, and got hundreds of submissions. I found I was saying the same things over and over again.

I also teach at a local bootcamp, and I've coached recent graduates, so I've learned quite a bit about what the market is like four first-time job hunters.

Over the course of a few months, I put everything I knew into a book. I decided to make it free; I didn't like the idea of charging folks who haven't yet gotten a high paying tech job. I'm working on other stuff, aimed at a more senior audience, so my primary goal was to build good will; my hope is that in a few months, many of the people who read my book we'll be happy to start paying to keep learning from me.

I just posted all of the metrics on twitter, including traffic, downloads, subscribers, and marketing stuff. Check it out here: https://twitter.com/JoshWComeau/status/1305863024171941888

Let me know if you have any other questions!
