In this edition of Coffee With Developers Chris Heilmann sat down with @francescociulla to chat about getting started as an online creator. Amongst other things, we answered the following questions:

1. How did he get into development and what do you think is missing for new people to start?
   Is being "content creator" or "youtube star" the right goal?
2. How can you compete with social media optimisers and growth hackers.
3. What are some things that annoy you about code tutorials?
4. How do you keep up to date?
   5, How can we as content creators ensure that people get the right information and not the obvious or most "wow" one? A lot of tutorials show you the how, but not the why.
5. What's your biggest trick to create short, succinct and engaging developer content?
