The End of the Live Code Stream Era
Join other nerds - Subscribe to my free email newsletter where I share my experience and know how about the world of programming, productivity, and dev life.
When I started “livecodestream.dev”, I had a clear vision for what it would be: a place where people could come to learn about live coding and streaming. I wanted to share my passion for these topics with others, and I thought that a blog would be the perfect way to do that.
At first, things went well. I was able to attract a small but dedicated audience, and I was having a lot of fun writing about live coding and streaming. But as the blog grew in popularity, I started to feel the pressure to generate more and more content. I felt like I had to constantly be churning out new blog posts in order to keep up with traffic.
I also started to feel pressure to hire other writers to help me with the workload. This was a difficult decision for me, because I wanted to maintain control over the content of the blog. But I felt like I had no choice if I wanted to keep up with demand.
As the blog became more successful, it also became more expensive to maintain. I had to pay for hosting, domain registration, and other expenses. I also had to pay my writers.
All of this pressure started to take a toll on me. I wasn’t enjoying writing the blog anymore. I felt like I was trapped in a machine, churning out content for the sake of traffic and revenue.
So, after much deliberation, I made the difficult decision to kill Livecodestream.dev. It was a sad decision, but it was the right one for me. I needed to get back to my original passion for live coding and streaming. I needed to write about the things that I’m truly passionate about, without feeling the pressure to generate content for traffic or revenue.
I’m not sure what the future holds for me, but I’m excited to start fresh. I’m going to start a new blog, but this time I’m going to do things differently. I’m going to write about the things that I’m truly passionate about, and I’m not going to let myself be pressured into generating content for traffic or revenue.
I hope that my story will inspire other bloggers to be true to themselves and their passions. Don’t let the pressure of success force you to compromise your vision. If you’re not happy with your blog, it’s okay to walk away. There are other ways to share your ideas with the world.
