The 7 Pillar Developer
summary
Seven concrete pillars: psychology, focus, education, image, communication, time, systems with actionable examples — niche to react specialization and a $15 domain react.jsconsulting.com that flips inbound leads from 3→45 companies and projects from 3→15, daily habits that buy mental bandwidth, and a growth-mindset learning cycle (JavaScript knowledge ~ doubles every 10 months). Measured output over years: 33 talks/50 conferences/135 sessions/9 courses/30 hours video, heavy travel (74 days, 27 cities, 4 countries) and a rate-laddering tactic that proves the approach scales.
