Why I Started Writing

I started writing because I kept forgetting things I'd learned. Not to build an audience — just to have a place where past-me could leave notes for future-me.

But something else happened. The act of writing about a technical concept forced me to confront the gaps in my understanding. You can't explain something clearly if you don't actually understand it. Writing is a compiler for your thoughts: it catches errors that thinking alone misses.

I don't know if anyone will read this blog regularly. That's fine. The primary audience is me, six months from now. If it helps someone else along the way, even better.
