Starting This Blog
I had wanted to publish something for a long time, and I finally started. I want to put my thoughts out into the world as they are.
My relationship with technical discussions has changed
Lately, I feel that the way I engage with technical topics has changed a lot compared with before.
A little while ago, I often ran into:
- difficult-looking debates drifting through X
- unfamiliar terms and assumptions
- the feeling of being left behind because I did not know the context
When that happened, I would often just let it pass because I did not understand it.
Now, I often take a screenshot of posts like that and paste it directly into ChatGPT.
What is this about?
What background do I need to understand it?When I ask those questions, it breaks the topic down to a level I can actually follow.
“Ignore what I do not understand” becomes “Pause and try to understand it once”
That shift in behavior feels significant to me. It feels like my world has widened, and like I can finally step into conversations that used to feel out of reach.
The influence of Codex
On the development side, starting to use Codex has also had a big impact.
It is not just that implementation got faster. More than that, it became easier to:
- touch the thing and see what happens
- build something that works first
- leave the fine details for later
Those behaviors became much more natural.
Even if people call it vibe coding, I am good at understanding things by reading the artifact after I have actually built it, so I think it suits me well. Because of this tool, I feel more open to new technologies than I used to be.
About this blog
With this blog, I want to prioritize writing down my own thinking.
- what I am thinking about
- what I feel when I work with technology
- in-progress notes from what I am learning
I plan to use it as a place to organize those things.
For this post, I used ChatGPT voice mode as an interviewer to help me sort through my thoughts.
After trying it, I think it is excellent for generating ideas.
I also tried having it write an article from the interview, but the final result felt weak, so I passed on that.
So that is where this starts.
For now, I want to prioritize simply getting started and continuing at a pace I can sustain.
