After reading that article it did not answer the question of how he made his job redundant.

It did tell me to hyper multi task and be more efficient (wow ground breaking /s).

Am I being obtuse? Was there an answer in there that I missed? I was really curious how he quit his day job...

Same. I was looking for how he was able to survive financially and quit his job. It just seemed like many paragraphs of bragging and rambling (and boasting about his speaking/blogging engagements).

maybe he started writing about that but got sidetracked context switching :)

After 2 years on HN, I finally created an account so I could upvote this comment.

You can check the first link in his post where he explains more of that http://www.troyhunt.com/2015/05/so-dust-has-finally-settled.... as well as the first link in that post http://www.troyhunt.com/2015/04/today-marks-two-important-mi... :)

Conferences/talks/pluralsight/consulting. His a big name in ms world, so he could do it pretty easily.

You might have missed it among all the bad advice about multitasking and working stupid hours, but he did give one piece of good advice in all that. His job was to do with systems administration/operations, and what he did was to write down everything he knew or had to learn about how to do his job, in the form of public blog posts, which he refined based on public feedback until they actually worked and were understandable. Then on the way out the door, all he had to do was give his successor the keys and the URL to the blog posts.

I get a feeling that he supposes his readers will mostly have been loyal followers for years or something like that, which unfortunately is impossible to be the case.

I also think multi tasking is usually inefficient.
