Hi 👋, I’m Shubham

Welcome to my digital garden - a curated space where I document and refine my thinking, one note at a time.

This isn’t a traditional blog. It’s more like a working knowledge base: a hybrid of fleeting thoughts, ongoing experiments, personal learnings, and technical deep dives. Some of the content here may be rough around the edges, intentionally so. Just like a real garden, this space is designed to evolve over time, with notes growing, merging, or being pruned as I revisit and expand my understanding.

🧠 What You’ll Find Here

• Work-in-progress notes on software engineering, architecture, systems thinking, and tooling.
• Technical explorations, from distributed systems and backend design to dev tooling and productivity workflows.
• Learning notes from books, research papers, and talks, distilled and contextualized for future reference.
• Meta reflections on problem-solving, developer workflows, and the craft of writing maintainable code.
• Occasional code snippets, experiments, and references to open-source contributions or side projects I’m tinkering with.

I write with the mindset that "thinking in public" is the best way to sharpen ideas. Some of these thoughts may eventually be polished into long-form essays or tutorials over at shubham.codes, but many will remain here in their raw, iterative form - and that’s by design.

The notes tagged with #source are the raw form of content, these include book highlights, direct information from lectures or copy pastes from other blogs or websites.

The notes tagged with #compilation is what I was able to collect from different #source. It's basically a compilation of different knowledges.

The notes tagged with #insight is how I was able to use this information to solve my use case. These are more specific form of content.

🧭 Why a Digital Garden?

In fast-moving domains like software engineering, knowledge decays quickly. Blogs are great for publishing finished work, but they often hide the messy process that leads to clarity. This garden reflects how I learn — incrementally, with feedback loops, interlinked ideas, and deliberate revisits.

If you're someone who values continuous learning, tool-assisted thinking, and building mental models from the ground up, then you might find something of value here.

🚧 Work in Progress

Not everything here is meant to be definitive. Some posts might just be questions I’m still working through. Others might challenge common assumptions or explore unconventional perspectives. Corrections, insights, and conversations are always welcome.
