On building in public, quietly There's a version of building in public that's all noise. I'm trying a different one — slower, smaller, more honest. There's a version of building in public that feels like a megaphone. Daily threads, screenshot dumps, growth charts. I tried it for a season and it left me hollow — performing the work instead of doing it. A quieter cadence What works for me now is something smaller. A weekly note, a single screenshot, an honest line about what I shipped and what I broke. Less audience, more accountability. The signal lives in the consistency, not the volume. Quiet doesn't mean secret. It means the work comes first, and the talking-about-the-work comes second.
