In 2025, I would like to be a bit more disciplined about “shipping”: about actually putting things into the world.

…[B]y not committing to “shipping” I have not been forcing myself to make hard choices about priorities. It is one thing to say I would like to do some project or other, to make some open source contribution, to learn something. It is something else to make that concrete by choosing which of those to commit to making real, and which to set aside in favor of the ones I commit to.

Sprint to Demos

My goal with the early sub-projects isn’t to build a finished sub-component, it is to build a good enough sub-component so I can move on to the next thing on the path to a demo. ✨

…

I think this is an important tradeoff so I will repeat it: do not let perfection be an enemy of progress. Going further, do not let future improvements you know you’ll have to make stop you from moving on to the next thing. The goal is to get to a demo.
