Very indirectly. My https://wordsandbuttons.online/ helped me cement a publishing deal with Manning, and the book I wrote for them (https://www.manning.com/books/geometry-for-programmers) works as a hourly rate magnifier in contract work negotiations.

Nice. I did some paid articles for a blog a while back and some technical presentations at conference. Got me a deal at O'Reilly. You should try get a gig at O'Reilly. It won't be that hard since you got something with Manning already!
