Every project needs a landing spot for the ideas, reminders, and troubleshooting notes that accumulate along the way. BitOfBytes is becoming that place. I want this space to double as a lab notebook for things I am learning and a quick reference library for future me. Expect to see walkthroughs of the little tools that power my daily workflow, hard-earned lessons from production debugging, and links to external resources that deserve more than a browser bookmark.
I am in the process of wiring up a handful of simple utilities—think Base64 and hashing helpers, TLS certificate snippets, and other pocket references that are constantly useful yet annoyingly easy to forget. As those land, I will write up why they exist, how they are implemented, and what pitfalls to watch for when you adapt them to your own projects.
Taking the time to capture these details is the best way I know to make sure the information sticks. By putting context around each snippet or command, the posts become more than a copy/paste repository—they become a map through the problem, with breadcrumbs that make it easier to retrace the route later.
