Out of hiatus

It has been a year since I have published or recorded anything here on Reconfigured.

After the war that happened in Lebanon, being relocated temporarily to Istanbul till things settled down by my management at work, and other personal matters that I had to handle on the side that I put everything on hold till I saw that it is time to bring things back on track. I was going to end things all together but decided to do a pivot within it because I saw the potential that it brought thus not going to end things that way

During that year I reflected on Reconfigured and realized that I am no longer seeing it in the way that I wanted to anymore. I was sold on the idea of making money from it through social media and make it a business/brand yet I never considered myself as a content creator nor want to make a living from it, in reality I am more of a builder and want to build great things in life thus I registered my own company on the side beginning of this year and working on it in my free time to build things that align with my future vision

Thus leaves Reconfigured as my own passion/hobby project that I do it for the sake of learning interesting things, build great things with what I have learned, and share what I have learned to the public. I want to get back to the times where I was enjoying the process itself and have awesome conversations with people that I find interesting not to grow it and make it a brand but to make myself grow and share it with others, I realized that I was the happiest person alive when I was in an office trying to record episodes with people that I never thought talking with

Moving forward that I will be writing blogs and will host a weekly newsletter called "The Weekly Brew" (previously named as "Defragmented"), and record podcast episodes either out of a topic that I want to share or found a guest that is knowledgeable about a topic worth sharing from. There might be a possibility that I may record videos as tutorials and post them on YouTube for free about things that I have learned about

Topics that I will be documenting will be technical but I might write/record non technical topics that have a certain level of relevance or interest. The style of the technical articles will have a certain level of standards and structure, there are lots of "how-to" tutorials saturating the internet thus will not focus on teaching you basic things from scratch but more high level content (if you wish to learn the basics, Udemy/YouTube/Orielly have you covered with wide selections of content on demand) and I have no intentions writing "how to become a superstar developer and get your dream job!" type of content nor put a roadmap to follow on to enter the market

There is no specific schedule to when I will post except for the newsletter which will be weekly, if you wish to stay up-to-date then feel free to subscribe to the newsletter, it will include blog posts and episodes released in it. I will no longer post on social media platforms except for LinkedIn, I am narrowing it down to one social media and that would be LinkedIn since it yielded the most responses and interactions along with reflecting my professional image to the public

I will be reaching out to those whom I have contacted before if they are interested to come back on the show and if you are reading this and interested to come on the show, feel free to reach out at info@reconfigured.co

I have no intentions anymore to make it a business, I have nothing to sell you and there are no plans to make a course/guide/subscription. Everything is going to be for free and if you check the website now that the content on it are the podcast episodes. I will be funding it from my own money and I don't have any intentions at the moment to get sponsorships or deals, if you wish to support then sharing it to the public is good enough for me
