I am in the fortune situation where I work on very low level details of foundational technology. Basically I believe that I got like 20 colleagues (people working on the same topic as myself) everywhere in the world, and all of them in big-tech companies.

I had the idea to work on this: https://jr2sr.com but I don't see much interest yet... Even though I am not pushing it nearly as hard as I should

There is a huge amount of interest in learning how to become a sr. engineer. Go check out the work of swyx (also in this thread [1]). I believe he said he made $25k+ from his book.

He is inspiring, articulate, prolific, and all-around amazing. He just wrote a book on this exact topic. (No financial incentive, just a fan. He was recently on our podcast [2]).

What you'll notice about swyx is that he writes constantly about what he's learning. He takes tons of notes, and is able to digest them in a way that's easy for jr's to digest.
