About Chelsea Troy
My name is Chelsea Troy. I have written hundreds of blog posts about tech and the tech community over the past five years.
It's unlikely that you have reached this page without having read at least one of those posts.
Maybe the post came from the series on interpreter design, or the one about SICP, or the one about the Raft distributed consensus algorithm.
Or maybe you saw the show notes from one of the live codes where I record and narrate my process while writing features for production applications.
But most likely, you read a piece from the series about leveling up, or the series about remote work, or the series about listening. This is the most rewarding work; the work that tackles slippery, complicated, emotionally charged challenges for tech folks like you (and me!) and breaks them down into clear frameworks and actionable steps.
I want to do more of this work, and do it better. That requires time. Currently I write my blog entirely in my off hours, working it in around obligations to other clients. With support from this Patreon, the blog can become, in effect, a client of its own, to whom I can allocate time each week in my normal work schedule—which includes my most productive, caffeinated hours :).
Thanks in advance for bearing with me so far on this bloggy journey. It has been a wild one, with hopefully much more to come.

Goals
7% complete
If I can achieve this earnings goal, I can guarantee 2-3 posts per week on a consistent basis, PLUS I can produce 2-3 ebooks per year without relying on outside funding rounds (Maccaw, Eagle, and Flock patrons receive ebooks free of additional charge). I can also do more audio recordings of posts and books, which ALL tiers (including the sponsored tier) receive!
