I made a hobby of writing intro posts on deep technical topics, from DNS to concurrency to cutting cloud cost. From 2009 ish onwards all my gigs have been at least helped if not initiated by someone reading a post and saying "we should talk to this guy".

Not a magic spell. I had been writing for almost ten years prior before anyone noticed, and only a fraction get any play.
