Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
A developer documents their experiment of spending a week focused on marketing and social media (specifically Instagram) instead of coding in Xcode. They share their discomfort with moving away from development work, their approach to creating content on Instagram by crafting story arcs and scheduling posts, and reflect on the experience of prioritizing distribution over product building.
