hello world!
I’m starting this blog to write about what I do. Writing is a good tool to make sense of things.
I find that when I’m dealing with something yet unclear, if I require myself to put it into words, make it an article of some sort, or convey it in a structured text, it helps me deepen my understanding.
Another reason is to keep a diary of the journey. Years pass by, and it’s easy to lose content, and context. Some insights take effort to achieve, and our brains aren’t made to store and keep random details accessible forever, so it’s a common theme to end up losing some resources on our careers.
It’s not a big deal, because the important stuff always stays, but having somewhere to write the small interesting pieces after the “ahá moment” is nice, so I can always look back and access this insights easily.
