A mathematician shares his four-year journey of accidentally writing a 700-page machine learning textbook while building an audience through Twitter threads and Substack. Starting as a creative outlet after a failed startup, he validated the idea through early access sales, navigated platform algorithm changes, and eventually partnered with Packt Publishing. The story covers content creation strategies, the challenges of self-publishing versus traditional publishing, and how constraints like Twitter's character limit shaped his teaching style and visual approach to explaining complex mathematical concepts.
