Starting a daily TIL journal

I learn small things constantly — a flag I didn’t know, a subtlety in how a tool behaves, a cleaner way to write something — and then I forget most of them. This is my attempt to fix that: one short note a day about something new I learned.

The rules I’m giving myself:

• Keep it small. A paragraph and maybe a code snippet. If it needs an essay, it’s not a TIL.
• Write it the day I learn it. Momentum beats polish.
• Show the thing. A concrete example I can copy-paste later beats a summary.

Why a git-backed blog

Because the friction has to be near zero or I won’t do it. Here there’s no CMS to log into and no “new post” form — I write a markdown file, commit, and push, and the site redeploys itself.

Learn something, write it down, git push.

If you’re curious how that last part works, the next entry walks through the publish flow. Otherwise — see you tomorrow.
