Learning in Public: Why I Document What I Build

I used to think I'd write about something "once I really understood it". The truth is the writing is how you come to understand it.

Notes compound

A note I wrote a year ago still saves me time today. A digital garden of small, honest notes becomes a personal search engine for your own experience.

It opens doors

Sharing your journey makes your work visible to recruiters, clients and fellow developers — without ever feeling like bragging.
