Why I'm writing in public

A short note on why this blog exists and what will show up here.

The problem

Most of what I build lives in a folder nobody sees. A month later, I’ve forgotten why I made the decisions I made.

What this blog is

Write-ups of projects, hackathons and side-quests in robotics, electronics and AI. Each post follows the same shape:

  1. What I was trying to build
  2. How it works
  3. What broke
  4. What I learned

A taste of what’s coming

A PID controller, the workhorse of robotics, fits in one line:

u(t)=Kp e(t)+Ki∫0te(τ) dτ+Kd dedtu(t) = K_p\,e(t) + K_i \int_0^t e(\tau)\,d\tau + K_d\,\frac{de}{dt}
u = Kp * err + Ki * integral + Kd * (err - prev_err) / dt

The maths behind posts like this lives in my study notes: gradient descent, for example.

What’s next

The first real project write-up is coming soon.
