Thank you for the advice. I liked this article but the examples of software engineers with solid personal brands were all men when there are so many impressive women & non-binary devs out there with awesome personal brands!

Thanks Lauren Lucero for pointing that out. I just picked a few ones that I learnt a lot from but please, if you know some great people with incredible personal brands, let me know so I can include them here :)

I think your last advice is key in this article, you need to actually start in order to achieve some result, and now is when. Great post, thank you!

Great article Victoria Lo! The advice is spot on and should help other up and coming devs it's far better to give than to receive and you get what you give.

Love it Victoria!

Here is my take on thei question: "What's a Personal Brand?"

Fundamentally brand is emotion.

Personal brand is an emotion that arises in people when they hear about you.

Strong personal brand is a strong emotion.

Want to build a strong personal brand?

Decide what emotion you want to evoke in people. The fewer words you can use to describe that emotion, the better.

This is just what I needed to read; I have been thinking about the building blocks for my brand and removing pieces that I felt least represent me for some time now. Thank you for your insight.
