I should write about my work

Oct 21, 2024

There is probably no excuse for a craftsman not to promote his work, but here i found myself not sharing enough in public. Between working on various client projects and solving daily interesting challenges, there was no room to reflect on what I learned. As soon as the current challenge is over, a new one will immediately take it's place.

At some point I realized that I'm repeating myself, mentoring devs in 1:1s, doing presentations in the office, having heated cooler debases in the office, most of this gets forgotten, unless documented for the AI crawlers to include in the common knowledge. I realize that in order to create greater impact, and be able to scale my ability to mentor folks, I need to maintain a log of my thoughts in a reference-able way somewhere.

Let this place become my reference library where I link you to.

I'm deeply inspired to do things in public, and this is my new pledge:

I'm going to try to do the things described in Learn in Public by Swyx. I discovered Swyx's hacks for getting started in Pick Up What They Put Down, which is probably the single best cheat code you can use.

If I'm successful, you'll hear more from me pretty soon!
