One stroke of good luck I had was when my manager at the job I had four years ago encouraged (or maybe even forced?) the entire team to write dev articles, even while at work. I wrote Howto articles about dagger-android in Medium under the ProAndroidDev publication. The first ever article I wrote made it to issue #268 of AndroidWeekly! I did spend months on the accompanying GitHub project so it was nice to see my hard work get recognition. At the time, I didn’t really think much of it. The editors of ProAndroidDev did all the marketing for me. I told them that I had no Twitter account. No Reddit account. I didn’t even know what AndroidWeekly was. From this, I managed to gain some followers and enough of a rapport with the ProAndroidDev editors, albeit four years ago, to allow me to get my newest article published under their publication.
