I’m starting this blog as a way to document how I learn and build.

Back in 2021, I wrote fairly consistently, on a different platform, mostly about technology and the things I was experimenting with at the time. That habit faded, not because I ran out of ideas, but because I stopped showing up regularly. This time, the focus is less on perfection and more on discipline.

What will I write about?

First, technology. I’ll be exploring new tools, systems, and ideas, and writing about what it’s actually like to use them. That includes implementing RFCs or specifications when I want to understand a technology properly rather than just skimming the surface.

Second, projects. I’ll document the work I’m actively doing, including the decisions that matter: architecture, databases, frontend trade-offs, build systems, testing, and the reasoning behind them. Not polished case studies — working notes from the middle of the process.

Third, chess. I’m learning both chess and chess programming, and I plan to write about both. That might mean a new concept I’ve just understood, an engine I’m experimenting with, or observations from studying and playing the game.

And finally, anything else worth keeping track of over the year. This blog is a record of learning, not a narrow niche.

The real challenge here isn’t content. It’s consistency. Showing up regularly. Writing things down even when they’re incomplete. Tracking progress instead of relying on memory.

This blog is an attempt to do exactly that — in public.

If that sounds useful or interesting, stick around.
