Why I started a TIL blog

Every day I run into something — a language feature I’d forgotten, a sharper way to do a thing I’ve done a hundred times, a “wait, why do we even do it like this?” moment. By the next morning most of it has evaporated. So I’m writing it down, and this is mostly for me. Not essays, not tutorials — a sentence or two and maybe a snippet.

The habit underneath it is the real point. It’s easy to spend years on autopilot, reaching for the same patterns because they worked last time. Forcing myself to note one new thing a day is a nudge to stay curious.

More tomorrow.
