Que tal Rafael, Considera la sugerencia de incluir, en lugar de tableros electrónicos, tableros fisicos, desde mi punto de vista generan una mejor conexión con los lectores. Adicional ¿Has evaluado incluir el tema de métricas? Sería fenomenal, con ese enfoque ligero y concreto estoy seguro sería un buen valor para agregar al contenido. Considerame tu amigo y estamos al tanto de nuevas noticias. Saludos!

Lo de las métricas sí que lo había pensado, ya que tiene aplicaciones evidentes, como calcular el promedio de respuesta a incidencias o el tiempo de desarrollo de una funcionalidad. En cuanto a los tableros físicos, ya incluyo bastantes comentarios sobre la conveniencia de empezar con ellos y no ir directamente a las aplicaciones ¿o te refieres a poner fotos?
Muchas gracias por las sugerencias y por responder tan rápido :-)
Seguimos en contacto por aquí. Un saludo...(less)

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

The first is that you always write sincerely, not thinking about sales or affiliate links, but about wh…moreWell, I wouldn't give you one, but three tips. The first is that you always write sincerely, not thinking about sales or affiliate links, but about what you want to convey to your readers. It is attributed to a great writer, Oscar Wilde, the quote "Be yourself; everyone else is already taken". If you try to write like someone else or at every moment you try to insert a commercial link because you have read a book about "how to become a millionaire with passive income" you won't get anywhere. People don't want to read commercial catalogs, but authentic books that give them ideas, solutions, and guidance on their problems. Write honestly, trying to help your readers with what you've learned, and the result will be excellent.

The second advice is to be humble. You don't write as well as you think and no matter how much practice you have there is always something that can be improved. Stephen King says in his book "On Writing" that between the first draft and the final text you should be able to cut up to a third. It seems a bit exaggerated at first, but I probably trim, revise, or modify that volume of text without problems in my books. Look for two or three friends you really trust, who won't flatter you with their comments, and ask them to read your draft honestly, noting down all the issues. Don't criticize them or explain why they're wrong. They are your readers, and if they haven't understood your ideas, the problem is yours.

And the third thing is "practice, practice, practice", both reading and writing. We are formed by reading to others and we reach perfection by non-stop practicing. When I started more than 20 years ago, writing in computer magazines, writing a one- or two-page article was a considerable effort but after a few years I ended up writing 15 to 20-page reports without problems. It's not that I was a talented writer or not, but after 10 years of practice, you end up gaining skill in your job.(less)
