Recent writing
- Leave room for the words
A blog does not need to introduce every feature before it lets someone read. A name, a few links, and a good paragraph can do most of the work.
- A smaller first version
The difficult part of a first version is deciding what to finish. A long list of features can look like progress while the simplest task still feels awkward.
- Notes that become essays
A note does not have to be useful to anyone else yet. It can hold a question, a sentence, or a small detail that would otherwise disappear.
- The value of a plain link
A plain link is a small promise: follow this, and you will arrive somewhere that makes sense.
