Personal notes on code, projects, and what I learn along the way Zola 2026-07-13T00:00:00+00:00 https://ricardoantonio.com/en/atom.xml 2026-07-13T00:00:00+00:00 2026-07-13T00:00:00+00:00 Ricardo Antonio https://ricardoantonio.com/en/blog/starting/ <p>Starting something from scratch is always scary, or at least it is for me. That feeling of looking at a blank page, or even worse, a new notebook, usually stops me. I think I am always afraid of <em>starting badly</em> because my mind believes there is a <em>perfect start.</em> And searching for that perfect start is exactly what stops me most of the time.</p> <p>Writing down my thoughts helps me slow down, organize my mind, and make my ideas real. For a long time, these ideas only stayed in my notebooks and personal notes. Today, I think it is time to let some of them go a bit further. So, in this space, I am going to write about the tools I use every day and the projects I am working on.</p> <p>To be honest, I do not know what this place will become. But I know I want to have my notes together in one place. A place where I can return when I need to, and hopefully, a place that can be useful to someone else too.</p> <p>In the end, I think it is about being brave. And here I am again, in front of a blank page. I feel a bit unsure, yes, but I know that if I want to do something, the only way to start is by writing the first word.</p>
