Lately, I've been deep in a side project. I won't say much about what it is yet, but it's something I care about. Something I believe has real potential.
Right now, I'm in the messy middle — not the fun part where things look cool, but the part where the real work happens.
Some of the hardest things I'm dealing with:
Keeping things safe
I'm building ways to stop spam, abuse, and shady users before they cause trouble. It's tricky to block the bad without hurting the good.
Not letting things get too messy
Features are easy to add. But keeping the product simple and fast? That's where it gets hard.
Fighting the urge to overdo it
As an engineer, I always want to perfect things. But I've learned to stop when it's good enough — and improve later.
Staying in the zone
Some days I feel on fire. Some days I don't. But I still show up and keep going. That's the only way this gets built.
That's all for now. No big launch. No flashy features. Just steady work, one piece at a time.
