This website serves as a personal development log and journal. It's a space where I document my growth as a developer, capturing both my accomplishments and setbacks throughout my journey.
My primary goal is to maintain a comprehensive record of my work and learning experiences. This includes:
I structure my posts using the ADR (Architecture Decision Record) format. This approach provides a consistent and comprehensive way to document decisions, challenges, and solutions. Here's the template I use:
# [ADR Title]
## Status
[Proposed | Accepted | Deprecated | Superseded]
## Context
[Describe the issue or problem that necessitated this decision. Include relevant background information and constraints.]
## Decision
[Explain the decision that was made and why it was chosen. Include the rationale and key reasons behind this choice.]
## Consequences
[Describe the results of adopting this decision. Include both positive outcomes and potential drawbacks or trade-offs.]
## Alternatives Considered
[List other options that were evaluated and why they were not chosen.]
## References
[Include any relevant links, documentation, or resources.]This structured approach makes it easier to understand the reasoning behind past decisions and apply those lessons to future challenges.
For topics where I am exploring an idea, pattern, or architectural approach rather than documenting a single decision, I use a lighter research-oriented format. This keeps the writing concise while still making room for examples, tradeoffs, and references.
# [Topic Title]
## What It Is
[Provide a concise explanation of the concept or pattern.]
## Why It Matters
[Explain why the topic is useful, relevant, or worth exploring.]
## Pros
- [Key benefit]
- [Key benefit]
## Cons
- [Key tradeoff]
- [Key tradeoff]
## When to Use It
[Describe the situations where this approach is a strong fit.]
## Examples
[Include practical scenarios, code snippets, or file structure examples.]
## References
[Link to articles, documentation, or other sources.]This format works well for posts like the vertical slice architecture article, where the goal is to explain an idea clearly, show where it helps, and acknowledge its tradeoffs.
