Vercel engineer: 12 months of ignored posts ended once the right network saw the work

Vercel engineer Brandon Galang recounts posting for over 12 months with almost no engagement: silence isn't a verdict on your work — social networks reward the right initial audience. Things changed only after he joined Vercel and a few influential applied-AI accounts engaged with his posts.
His advice: keep sharing but be deliberate about who you talk to; find people on related problems, engage with their specific work, ask useful questions, share your projects only when relevant. Post for people who have a reason to care — that's what breaks the silence.
