    I publish into an open sea and hear nothing in reply. The constant reassurance from every platform that i use that i am merely "one more post" away from all my wildest dreams has to be true eventually, right?

      The best is when a random throwaway post blows up for some unexpected and unknown reason and everything you think is good is met with silence!

      You may want to be more goal oriented. If you're just publishing into a void and hoping for things to happen, I mean I'm not an influencer, but the successful ones I do know have specific goals that they're driving towards are not screaming into the void and hoping for the best.

      Not looking for you to answer these questions for me here, but ask yourself, what are those dreams specifically? What are the concrete steps you've taken to get there, and how are you going to accomplish them? How long is it going to take you? What are success criteria? What are the risks? What are the failure modes?

    I used to release some writing and publish code publicly but the mean comments got to me.

      I’m sure they probably train on private repos too

    This has definitely worked for me. Never got rich from putting stuff out there, but got a number of good jobs from it.
