I decided to move to my own blog from Medium. I want to write more frequently and write shorter notes. Medium felt a bit overkill for that. I could’ve just tweeted more but I’m not in the mood for the visibility and hence engagement that it will bring. I’d prefer to shout into the void.
I’ve wanted to build a personal website for a while. But so far, it’s always been tied to creating a work portfolio, with a blog as a side dish. But portfolios are stressful and the activation energy required to get started and see it through to completion has eluded me for the last one year. I’ll keep pushing smaller updates to that on the side. But the need to write short notes felt like a good reason to at least build the blog-side of this wesbite.
