I’ve been writing for a few years —mostly internal notes about my projects— how-to’s for my co-workers, client deliverables, and the occasional ghostwritten piece. But here’s the thing: I never kept much for myself.
Every time I solved a tricky migration issue, fought with Apache configs, or figured out some obscure quirk —obscure at least for me— I’d document it… and then promptly forget where I saved it. Six months later, I’d hit the same problem and start searching the text file, the Notion or Obsidian note, or even start Googling like it was brand new.
So this is me fixing that.
This website
I want this website to be my go-to notes, and at the same time, add content to the internet that isn’t an AI blog written automatically. And I think that is the crucial point.
A long time ago I had a blog, I wrote about my first time installing Ubuntu 7.10, and that time when I deleted all my files because I mounted a device, then proceeded to install without unmounting it first. Those posts were messy, honest, and written by an actual human learning things the hard way. That’s what the internet used to feel like —people sharing their screwups and wins, not SEO-optimized content farms.
What to expect
I work —and tinker— across a pretty wide stack: PHP/Laravel, React, Linux systems, databases, the occasional Python project. I’ll document what I’m actually working on: migrations, deployments, debugging sessions, workflow improvements. Some posts will be polished guides. Others will be rough notes from a —mainly— self taught generalist.
So, why public?
At the end of the day, every time I want to write something I think that maybe —just maybe— someone out there is searching not just for a command to copy and paste. Maybe they want a story behind it. Maybe it’s one person in a million, but I was a reader once, trying to figure out not just how to do something, but why to do it that way.
Maybe it’s time to add a little to that.
