Building in Public

I've been building things on the internet for a long time, but I've been pretty terrible at writing about it. Streams are great for the live energy, but they disappear into VOD archives that nobody watches twice. I want a record — something I can point back to, something that helps other people, something that forces me to actually think through what I'm doing instead of just vibing through it. So this blog is me committing to building in public. For real this time.

What's that going to look like? Honestly, a mix of everything. Engineering posts when I solve something gnarly or learn something worth sharing. Devlogs as I build out this site and my other projects. Updates on side businesses like PixelPlush and the other weird things I'm working on. Maybe some life stuff too — flying, living in Prague, figuring out how to balance a Microsoft career with a dozen side projects. I'm not going to force a niche. The niche is "things Raphael is doing," and if you know me at all, you know that list is never short.

If any of that sounds interesting, stick around. Follow along on Discord or wherever you found me. I'll be here, writing about the wins, the fails, and everything in between. Let's go.
