The Why: A Two-Part Approach
It's 2025, and this is my new home on the web. My goal for this site is simple: to build a personal, comprehensive repository of information. As I started to lay things out, I realized that not all knowledge fits the same mold. Some ideas are big and complex, while others are small but incredibly useful.
That realization led me to a two-part approach: a traditional blog for long-form articles and a separate space for short, quick memos. Here’s a look at the reasoning behind each.
The Blog: Home for In-Depth Research
The main blog is where you'll find my more substantial work. These are the topics that demand detail and are often heavily reliant on research. When an idea needs space to be fully developed, explained, and backed up with evidence, this is where it will live.
Think of this section as the place for:
Comprehensive guides and tutorials.
Deep dives into new or complex technologies.
Project retrospectives exploring what went right and what went wrong.
Memos: Capturing Everyday Discoveries
We've all been there: you're working on a project and stumble upon a clever command, a useful function, or a solution to a nagging problem. These small discoveries are valuable, but they rarely feel big enough for a full article. More often than not, they end up lost in a private notes file, never to be seen again.
Memos are my solution to that. This section is for capturing those quick things I jot down while working. For example, a memo might detail how to squash the last three git commits using git rebase -i HEAD~3
, complete with a short description of the command and a quick note on when it's safe to use. It’s the kind of practical, specific knowledge that’s incredibly useful in the moment but doesn’t require a full-blown tutorial. It's a living log of the solutions that make our work easier.
A Complete Picture
Together, these two sections are designed to create a more complete and honest knowledge base. The blog provides the polished, researched deep dives, while the memos offer the raw, everyday discoveries that happen along the way.
Whether you're here for a detailed tutorial or just a quick command-line trick, I'm glad you stopped by. Feel free to explore, and let's see where this project goes.
