Starting from scratch
When I got this domain 2 years back, I was in college, trying to learn as much as I can about tech, practice DSA every now and then to crack a full time job that would pay me decent enough to live a fun life that satisfied my sophisiticated and consumeristic lifestyle that I wanted to pursue at that point in life.
Quite a lot of things, a lot of things changed in the past 2 years, The first startup where I had hands on experience owning things, learned a lot, and felt like a family had to close just 2 months after I got converted full-time. Thankfully I did not have any gaps in my career, switched to another fast paced startup where I would learn a lot of things about different types of people, shipping fast, user feedback, product knowledge and a new perspective in building things.
I'm not a broke college student looking for a job or just scratching the surface of a bunch of popular ways to make money digitally like dropshipping, faceless youtube channels, etc.,
I think (I hope), I have some clarity as to what I want to do in my life, so I deleted my old template based portfolio and started over with some things in mind:
- Ship things: I've always started on projects with this exciting look in my face about how this idea would have a lot of users and that it's very useful for the thing I'm triyng to solve. But, I would lose motivation in a week and drop it without ever trying to launch/market it. I want to change that. I have 4-5 things i'm working on right now. I want to complete them with a decent enough polish, record launch demo's and actually launch and market it.
- Building in public.: I want to write about the things I build, and share the interesting problems that I'm facing throughout the journey and retrospect at where I am every now and then.
- Keep things in check: I'm hoping this website will push me to do and write about things that are worth reading.
More soon.
