# Building again

It's been a year and a half since I wrote something here at all. While I moved over somewhat [to Substack](https://raveesh.substack.com), I never quite enjoyed it, while writing on this page via Github was a bit of a hassle.

However, I finally find myself in VSCode on a weekly basis, tinkering more and more as ChatGPT's fueled my desire to explore, prototype quick hacks, and ship. For real – [I actually shipped something](https://cytation.app)! This tweet below describes the mental change I've been trying to make that's been paying dividends.

On top of that, need to give major kudos to [Vercel](https://vercel.com) for making the developer experience of building for the web so much better than what I last remember (circa 2013). I mean this about both their own platform, as well as NextJS (which I'm finally getting the hang of). Putting together this new site as a replacement for my old Jekyll driven one was actually fun – though I still need to get around to finally getting comfortable with CSS!

Hopefully you all see me write more often. And more importantly, ship more often.
