Web Dev · by Jonas Schneider · 2026-09-20

A tiny win from Berlin that made my week after a tiny failure

Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Web Dev feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.

A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

Part of me wanted the fancy version with all the tools. The better version was boring: one notebook, one reminder, and a willingness to be clumsy with the route for a while.

I wanted to like this, but the tiny argument is weak. I noticed the same thing in Nairobi.

The kindness in this post is lovely. I noticed the same thing in Cairo.

This is adorable and oddly motivating. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing.

Anecdotally, this tracks with what I have seen. The social part surprised me too.
