September 2025: The Developer Upgrade Issue

The new eBook is live. Eight full chapters built from the toughest lessons we covered in September — expanded, sharpened, and stitched together for devs who are done mistaking noise for progress.

This one’s high value. Every page cuts closer to the stuff that actually moves a career forward. No fluff, no filler — just the kind of clarity most people don’t get until they’ve burned a few years in the wrong role.

Inside:
• How to build authority before anyone gives you the title
• The system that kills 2 a.m. firefighting for good
• Why “being useful” keeps you broke and replaceable
• How to translate your work into cost, risk, and time — the only language leadership funds
• The real shortcut: full context over highlights

It’s not a pep talk. It’s a manual for leverage, visibility, and control.

📘 Read it here → tr.ee/NqnDbC

And yes — any Patron, at any tier, gets full access. That’s part of the deal.
