## Posts
- [Why I picked Payload for my blog](http://localhost:3000/blog/why-i-picked-payload-for-my-blog): I looked at every headless CMS. This is the short version of why Payload on Neon Postgres is what I landed on.
- [Deploy or it did not happen](http://localhost:3000/blog/deploy-or-it-did-not-happen): A short argument for shipping small projects to a public URL, even when they are embarrassing.
- [Three AI habits that stuck](http://localhost:3000/blog/three-ai-habits-that-stuck): Not tools. Not tricks. Habits. The small changes in how I work that survived past the first week.
- [Postgres is not as scary as I thought](http://localhost:3000/blog/postgres-is-not-as-scary-as-i-thought): I avoided SQL for two years. Then I spent a weekend with Postgres and now I wonder what I was afraid of.
- [The first prompt that actually worked for me](http://localhost:3000/blog/the-first-prompt-that-actually-worked): I was bad at prompting for a long time. This is the first one that got me a result I could ship.
- [What server components actually solved for me](http://localhost:3000/blog/what-server-components-solved-for-me): I did not get it for a long time. Then one day I did. Here is the exact moment that changed.
- [My mental model of the Next.js App Router, in plain words](http://localhost:3000/blog/app-router-mental-model): Server components, client components, layouts, and why the file names mean what they mean. Written in the order things actually clicked for me.
- [Hello, world. I finally started a blog.](http://localhost:3000/blog/hello-world): An intro to who I am, what I'm learning, and why I'm writing this in public instead of in a private notebook.
