📣The truth about your blog and newsletter traffic

Your channel isn’t underperforming because your ideas are weak.
It’s underperforming because it’s trapped.

🗂️ In one format.
📍 On one platform.
⏳ For one moment.

Let’s fix that. 🔧

10년 전, 북미로 유학을 망설이던 저에게 한 벨기에 엔지니어의 전향 스토리가 큰 용기를 주었습니다.
영어로 쓴 글 하나가 국경을 넘어 제 마음에 닿았거든요.

그때 알았습니다. 좋은 글은 언어와 지역을 넘어, 누군가의 인생에 닿을 수 있다는 걸요.

그런 가능성을 더 많은 분들께 드리고 싶어서 만들었습니다. https://t.co/J94wTKpM6T

10 years ago, an English post by a Belgian engineer gave me the courage to study abroad.

Great writing knows no borders.

The AI tool landscape is wild! 🌟 After presenting at company all Hands meeting, I learned that true experts are customizing tools like Cline & Roo. Should I stick with loyal Cursor or dive into the Cline + OpenRouter combo? Decisions, decisions! #AI #DevCommunity

지난 6개월간 ,
1. 클라우드 서비스 백엔드 개발자라 프론트+디자인 경험 없음
2. 그러나 개발자 짬(?)은 있음
3. 진짜 막혔을 때 부를 프론트 개발자 친구들 있음
이라는 조건으로 웹서비스 바이브코딩을 해보았는데요.
우선 희망편부터 보시죠!

All this makes me wonder...
Will backend engineers like me finally build beautiful frontends — without a designer?
We're getting close. And I'm kinda here for it.

I build side projects for fun using this stack:

🎨 Design: Motiff
💻 Dev: Cursor Agent Mode
🧠 Consulting: ChatGPT
Let me show you how I iterated through frontend design — as a backend engineer. 👇

[Build with Jess @buildwithjess]

4️⃣ Looped in ChatGPT.
I uploaded screenshots, asked for critique, and got super specific design prompts.
Then I pasted those into Cursor.
→ Cursor updates the code.
→ I review the design.
→ Repeat forever 😅

At the end of the day, it’s not just about money.
It’s about the life you want.
The city, the people, the pace.
Chase comp, sure — but make sure you’re also chasing your version of home.

Ever wondered how much more a software engineer makes in the US vs Canada — doing the exact same job?
I moved from Vancouver to Seattle. Same team, same boss, same product.
Here’s what actually changed 👇

With kids? The gap shrinks even more.
Canada’s public programs are a lifesaver — community centers, affordable activities, family support.
In the US, most of that is private. Great if you can afford it. Stressful if you can’t.

올해의 목표 중 하나는 브런치에 썼던 글들을, Medium에 영어로 공유하는 건데요, 글의 말투와 분위기를 그대로 살리면서 번역하는게 생각보다 까다롭더라구요. 문체, 온도, 리듬까지 유지하면서 플랫폼에 맞게 번역하는, Verlo AI 를 소개합니다.
