Aqua Regia is a place to write about what happens between having an idea and getting something useful to work.</p><p>That space is full of interesting decisions. Which part needs to be simple? What does a tool hide from you? When is a small script enough, and when do you need a system?</p><h2>What I&#8217;ll write about</h2><p>Software and the systems underneath it. Side projects, experiments, and the decisions that shape them. Tools that are worth understanding, explained from the inside.</p><p>I want these pieces to be useful beyond a particular framework or release. Sometimes that means walking through an implementation. Sometimes it means slowing down to explain the idea behind it.</p><h2>A notebook, in public</h2><p>This publication is for developers, independent builders, and curious people who enjoy figuring things out. You don&#8217;t need to know every tool already. The goal is to leave with a clearer picture and something worth trying.</p><p>Subscribe if that sounds like your kind of reading. New essays will land in your inbox as they&#8217;re published.</p><p>Thanks for being here.<br>Harsh</p><p><a href="https://blogs.aquaregia.dev/about">About Aqua Regia</a> &#183; <a href="https://aquaregia.dev">My website</a></p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
