The Visible Developer: Why You Shouldn't Blend In
summary
Claim: career visibility equals two halves — ship work and actively tell people — with concrete tactics: publish a small IoT blog post (example: went viral on StackOverflow/Reddit and led to a manager hiring the author for a project), keep a personal website, schedule posts with Hootsuite or Buffer, use JIRA/Trello to track but announce accomplishments publicly, network by giving first and at events pick three people to meet, practice Radical Candor, and automate bite‑sized, consistent sharing to build reputation.
