Apprenticeship Programs: Is It Worth It?
Today we are going to talk about apprenticeship programs. Have you ever heard of them?
For some of you that don't know what I'm talking about, apprenticeship programs could be defined as:
"Apprenticeship programs are designed to prepare all software crafters for the challenges they will face in their day-to-day work."
These programs have a lot of different approaches and how they work might make them not the best choice overall.
So, what do you think? Do you think that apprenticeship programs are a viable option for software developers?

How Should Software Developers Call Themselves?
Job Titles, especially for software developers, is something I usually call BULLSHIT!
I've been a software developer for over 15 years and I still don't know what to call myself.
Beyond trying to agree on a generalized name for developers, software developers, programmers, software engineers, coders, computer programmers, and the like, we've got to contend with job titles.
What the heck is the difference between a Senior Software Engineer and a Junior Software Engineer? And how do they compare to Software Developer II and Software Development Engineer in Test? This is some pretty confusing stuff.
And of course, if it confuses me, I strongly believe it confuses you too...
So, how should software developers call themselves? Does it even matter? Watch this video and find out!

I'm An Old Developer And I Feel Overwhelmed
Despite being experienced, old developers still suffer in the software development world.
There is a lot of ageism and old developers struggle to find their space. Some companies think they are too expensive and like to replace them for young developers. Other companies don't like to hire old developers for any reasons...
That's how they end up in limbo.
In this email, I received a question from an old developer saying he was overwhelmed by the environment we are living and how he could overcome these difficulties and thrive as a developer.

Book Publishing Strategy: How To Rank #1 On Amazon?
How To Rank Number 1 On Amazon? As probably the majority of you know, I'm the author of Soft Skills: The Software Developer's Life Manual Book. And with that book, I got ranked #1 on Amazon and I still figure out among the highest ranked books on Software Development.
So, what is the strategy for ranking so high on Amazon's Best Seller Books? Well, the most powerful strategy I have for ranking #1 on Amazon is building up what I call "launch day".
The launch day consists in reuniting all efforts and all actions into one single day, which is the day you'll launch your book. You need to create a very powerful and consistent marketing strategy so you can make a lot of people buy your book on your launch day. Once you do that, you'll hit the #1 spot on the Amazon's Best Seller Books.
It helps not only the ranking but, the more people see your book among the top books of your genre, the easier it will be for you to sell more books.
So, are you interested in figuring out how to rank #1 on Amazon? Watch this video to find out.

My Sincere Opinion On Race & Racism
So, this is a hot topic right now. I've decided to create this video after the awful incident in Texas. For some that don't know, there were a shooting that happened in Texas that involved racist claims. I don't want to get into this specific point here, as it would draw the attention from the video.
So, I was reluctant on creating a video for this topic, but I felt like I couldn't hold it back anymore. So, here it is.
In this video, I'll share with you, my thoughts on race and racism, some criticism on the media and how they manipulate the new and why we should shift our current views on these topics so we can create a better future for everybody.
