"Giorgi, this is one of the most honest and inspiring “building in public” posts I’ve read in a long time. Thank you for writing it.
What hit me hardest was how your badges became a visual timeline of your journey — from the quiet struggle during the pandemic PhD, the brutal push to become Principal Engineer at 27, to finally starting to write just one year ago. It’s powerful proof that consistency and reflection can turn even the hardest chapters into something meaningful.
I especially loved the “game” at the end. That mental exercise of jumping 10 years into the future and feeling the regret is brutal… but extremely effective. I’m saving that one.
You’re living proof that you don’t need to have everything figured out — you just need to keep moving, even when it’s painful. Respect, man.
Quick question:
Looking back, what’s one thing you wish you had started even earlier — writing or building side projects?
This article deserves way more eyes. Absolutely well done 💜"
Thank you for taking the time to read it all the way through I really appreciate it!
Regarding your question, I’ve been building side projects since the very beginning not exactly in public, but consistently nonetheless. However, I only started writing articles recently, and looking back, that’s something I would absolutely begin much earlier.
