The Niche

Documenting Instead of Showing Off

Published: December 31, 2025

Over the years, I’ve noticed a pattern: I often focus too much on polished results, trying to impress others with final products. While this can feel rewarding short-term, it slows down real growth and learning. That’s why I’ve decided to approach my work differently now.

The Niche is not about showing off. It’s a space where I document experiments, observations, and learning processes. Each note is honest, practical, and unfinished. Sometimes it’s messy, sometimes incomplete — but it reflects reality and progress.

This approach helps me stay consistent. Instead of aiming for perfection, I focus on small, repeatable steps that compound over time. By documenting, I also create a reference for myself, which is more valuable than any polished portfolio piece.

In the long run, documenting real work builds credibility, skill, and understanding. It may not impress immediately, but it lays a foundation for sustainable growth. And that is the real goal of The Niche — a quiet, steady record of learning and doing.
