**Introduction:**
Embarking on a journey to share knowledge and expertise in the realm of programming interviews, I launched my Gumroad shop a year ago. Focused on three major programming languages - Ruby, JavaScript, and Python - I introduced a collection of insightful ebooks designed to help individuals excel in technical interviews. The journey has been remarkable, with Gumroad emerging as the primary platform for my sales, accompanied by presence on Koji, Amazon, and Leanpub.
