Even though I had published a story back in June 2021, it wasn’t until December 30th that I started posting regularly. It started a post talking about using Python to extract stock data from Yahoo Finance:

Leveraging Yahoo Finance and Python to get any stock data

This single post so far has gotten 26 views, 19 of which were reads. So a 73% read ratio is pretty impressive in my opinion.

Stats

Within this month I’ve posted 11 stories, talking about pretty different topics that I felt like writing about at that moment. If there’s a common pattern in my posts is that I post only when I feel like doing it and always about topics I enjoy talking about.

The overall stats from the last 30 days are these:

• 181 reads
• 85 reads (47% read ratio)
• 46 fans
