Why Build in Public?
There’s a version of this blog where I quietly publish polished articles and pretend they arrived fully formed. That’s not what I’m doing here.
I’m building in public because I think the process is as valuable as the output. When you share how you work — the false starts, the tools you tried, the decisions you made — other people can actually learn from it. Polished outcomes are nice to look at, but they’re hard to reverse-engineer.
This Blog Is the Experiment
This site isn’t just where I write about AI. It’s a project where I use AI at every step — drafting, editing, translating, generating metadata, automating the publishing pipeline. If a tool works, I’ll tell you. If it doesn’t, I’ll tell you that too.
The publishing workflow for this blog starts in Google Docs and ends in a Git commit, with automation handling the conversion in between. Every post gets translated into five languages. The SEO metadata is generated programmatically. None of this is magic — it’s just a system I built, and I’ll keep refining it in the open.
What Building in Public Actually Looks Like
It means I’ll share things that aren’t perfect yet. It means some posts will be short observations rather than comprehensive guides. It means I’ll occasionally write about what went wrong, not just what went right.
Here’s what I think matters:
Honesty over polish. I’d rather publish something real than something impressive. If a tool disappointed me, I’ll say so. If I changed my mind about an approach, I’ll explain why.
Systems over hacks. One-off tricks are fun but they don’t compound. I care about repeatable systems — workflows you can adapt for your own work.
Showing the work. The interesting part isn’t the finished blog post. It’s the pipeline that created it, the prompt that shaped it, the decision to structure it this way instead of that way.
What’s Next
I’ll be writing regularly about the tools and workflows I’m using — not in theory, but in practice. AI assistants, automation, content systems, and the occasional productivity deep-dive.
If you want to follow along, subscribe to the newsletter or find me on social media. I’m genuinely interested in how other people are building with these tools, so don’t be a stranger.
Let’s figure this out together.
