You ever notice how sometimes the people around you see what’s really going on before you do? That’s what happened with this channel. I tried to go broad, help everyone in tech, chase what the “experts” and the algorithm said people wanted—but you knew better.

You told me what made this channel special wasn’t the hype or some generic success formula. It was the real talk. The raw stories. The focus on staying healthy, sane, and actually living your life while you write code in an industry that rarely cares about either.

In this episode, I’m owning up to where I lost the plot—and why I’m bringing it all back to what *actually* matters. We’re going deep on why “Healthy Developer” is the right home for this community (and for me), what’s staying, what’s changing, and what you can expect from here on out.

If you’re here to argue or troll, you won’t like this one. But if you’re tired of the tech grind, and you want real strategies for staying grounded and growing as a developer *without* burning out, you’re in the right place.

Thanks for holding me to a higher standard—and for helping me find my way back. Let’s build something better, together.
