Today’s world runs on maker ethics. Talking is good, making is better. And talking about what you made – even better.

• If you lead people – Show your thoughts with writing articulately. Clear thinking and articulation is essential in giving direction to people.

• If you code – Show your thing on GitHub.

This is actually the name of a book.
