    Great video: thank you! I wonder if another 'con' is being able to maintain a work-life balance. By that I mean, excluding travel, creating content is extremely time intensive: so how does one stick to a reasonable # of hours per week? (e.g. 40-ish)... I have done many presentations for my local user group, and a few conferences, and the time investment is ridiculous.

      That's very true!
      I guess a highlight of content creation is kind of the flexibility of doing it at any time, but tough to meet deadlines since sometimes it's hard to predict how long content creation will take you.
      Another interesting take is that usually dev advocates which have a big following (CZcams / Twitter / GitHub) I've seen get jobs more easily than other with smaller followings.

      @@horeaporutiu Mulţumesc pentru răspunsul rapid şi promp. Mă bucur pentru că am dat de un concetăţean peste ocean şi pe deasupra în ţara tuturor posibilităţilor. Deci concret caut pe cineva care mi-ar putea explica mai pe îndelete şi puţin pe nivelul meu de înţelegere blockchainul dar puţin mai în profunzime sau mai precis în cât se poate de în profunzime dar nu pe engleză ci dacă se poate în l. română cu un limbaj quasi profesional. Adevărul este că eu bănuiesc nici in engleză nu prea se găseşte un asemenea tutorial dar nici pe o altă limbă vorbită pe terra.Iar în ceea ce priveste noţiunea de evanghelist cel puţin în partea acesta a lumii are poate o altă semnificaţie şi anume de context religios, deoarece în noul testament se găsesc cele 4 evanghelii sinoptice. Deci te rodg să reflectezi asupra celor ce ţi-m scris acum şi poate va ieşi ceva bun şi ceva util pentru toată lumea nu numai pentru mine . Cu salutări prieteneşti şi frăţeşti si cu deosebită stimă .Fekete Alexandru din oradea.
