To be successful you MUST:

  • Write a blog
  • Have many personal projects on github
  • Know X, Y, Z technologies

Nope, nope and nope.

Just get out there and have fun. There are fundamentals that will always ring true, no matter the technology or the domain you are applying the technology to.

Read, learn, have fun and enjoy.

Check. Check. And Check.

Oh wait, that's a list of stuff I don't need to do. :)

Realistically, the amount of stuff I do "publically" is far outweighed by the amount of stuff I just do on the side. So yes, just do something and don't worry about its relevance.
