One of the best feelings in the world is taking something that you want, creating it, and then using it.

Right now, that’s what I’m doing with this blog post — writing it form my iPad, knowing that it’ll automatically show up on my personal site.

And when I want to make edits later because I inevitably made a typo, I’ll be able to edit it. And when I come up with something new I want to write about, there’s one less step that gets in the way.

There’s so much noise that gets in the way of building. There’s The Resistance, there’s layers of configuration files that are indecipherable, and then there’s just deciding that this is something you can do. Also, there are the pulls of day-to-day life.

It’s a lot and there are a lot of things that get in the way. But it’s so worth it once you get past it.
